It's an hour before the start. It could be worse . . . . I'm in FLA (not AT the super bowl, but still), the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing. AND I'm about to eat the best fish (pronounced f-e-e-e-sh) on the planet - compliments of Paul J Bardsley. I have my Colts t-shirt and Colts hat on.
I missed the space shuttle launch this morning, but not for not having tried. At 4:20 am my cell alarm screamed to life and I got dressed and trotted across the street to watch this amazing event with about 20 other hardy spectators. Brenda surprised me by showing up too!!! The launch was scrubbed due to cloud cover. Maybe tomorrow will have better results.
I think all the family will be watching this game from SOMEWHERE. I think I can safely say that all, save Kenneth, will be rooting for Indy. Kenneth - don't let cheering for different teams ruin the great weekend you have been having so far.
Pundits are forecasting a Colts win. The hearts of America seem to be leaning toward New Orleans. Who can blame them? What a great story of a rise to the top. Especially with all the difficulty from Katrina just a few years ago, and the realization that the area affected is still not back to 100% years later. This game is pitting perhaps the two best quarterbacks in the league. Both teams seem to have avoided much of the bad publicity that professional athletes seem to bring on themselves because of poor choices and not thinking. It is hard to choose. At this level, the game could go either way.
There will only be one team holding the Lombardy trophy this year. But there will be no losers. Anyone who makes it this far is truly a winner - regardless of the point total on the board. And players who continue to do the right thing and help those less fortunate are winners. Jesus said, it is more blessed to give, than to receive. It is now 45 minutes to game time. I'm getting pumped for a great game - regardless who wins. (ARE YOU KIDDING???? - GO COLTS!!!)
