I'm becoming John Madden

Yes, I can't seem to get my weight down, but that is not the only reason I'm becoming John Madden. I was watching the Super Bowl and hoping for a turn over by the New Orleans Saints on their touchdown drive. Somehow I knew it wasn't going to happen. After the Colts got the ball back I knew Manning was going to throw an interception and nearly stopped watching. And it came to be. Reminded me of all those Monday Night Football games Madden used to call. He would say this is when such and such happens, and a few plays later it most always did.

Of course in the first quarter when the refs didn't call that hit out of bounds against the Saints or the pass interference, I wasn't expecting the Colts to win. And then a late hit almost exactly the same as the one not called was called against the Colts. It could have been an instant replay. And funny how no one referenced the Packers' playoff game when the Saints did that on side kick. I guess no one is allowed to question authority anymore. Best commercial....

I got on my bike today despite the morning flurries and the big flower day on its way. I determine to push the Winter riding and then the weatherman predicts 6-10" of snow starting tonight, or 9-12" depending on which channel you watch. I thought I was over dressed on my way to the gym. It was warmer than they said it would be. On the way back, riding into the wind, I found I was barely over dressed.

My knee is bothering me. Walking the track also caused pain so I did some light extensions, focusing on keeping everything in line. Afterwards the knee felt fine as I walked. It must be the extra weight that is causing it to act up.

Searching public records is nearly impossible without names and dates, or loads of money since they have hefty fees to see any documents, or I'll just get a lawyer. I don't speak to my family much. If they would lie to me again I think I would just drop dead on the spot, so I don't even ask.

Tomorrow will be a computer day, with occasional breaks to shovel snow. I have a drawing to work on and some things to write. I also have a nice new shiny bag of mortar mix, Type S. And I found a product for another basement wall repair that I need to do. Didn't have the money to buy a bag or two but after the holiday sales I should be able to pick up a few more things a need for the basement. Don't think I could swing a trainer though.

The Olympics are on the way. Every weekend has Winter sport events on TV. It seems the variations are almost endless. 'Crashed Ice' is one such sport that seems to be unique to Quebec. Seeing green grass in news shots of Vancouver I don't think the Olympic athletes will have much of a problem getting their.
