Super Bowl Sunday

Today is the big day. And unlike most Sundays there's no Churching, outside of my own study. No way to get there without a car. I could have gone by bicycle. Too bad I thought of that just now. Actually a bit cold for me to ride and I don't like riding the salty streets. But I'll brave the cold tomorrow on a shorter trip to the gym and see how it goes in 20 degree weather. Have to take advantage of the lack of snow seeing I can't afford a trainer.

I have no particular interest in who wins this game. I love the older teams, but the Colts moved so dropped out of favor in my mind. Some think New Orleans should move,... the entire city. The TV coverage has already long started though the game is several hours away. Don't feel like doing anything special to prepare for the game, seeing my weight shot way up this last week. Most likely I'll practice my mad poker skills online while I watch. Still chasing that $1 million play money goal. You get so close and then it's one bad beat after the other.

I'll be looking for the team leading at half time to lose.... unless the Colts are winning.

I'll also spend some time writing today (like right now). A title search on google has a piece of fiction I wrote on my political blog coming up second. I should have created a counter just for that page to see how many have visited. I have several pieces all put together in my head waiting to explode. Including a piece on why playing Omaha hi/lo will improve your Hold'm game.

I would spend time wondering if there was anything I wasn't good at, but it would take too long.

And then there is my continuing crusade against tall people. I worked at one firm with another of the tall people. He continually asked the principle Architect if he could beat me to a pulp. Mostly in good fun but still not something you say to a fellow co-worker. Especially someone near ten years your senior. But no one said a thing to him for months till one day three simple words, or is it four, in response to his threats to beat me up must have resulted in him being called into the office. Cause I didn't hear it no more.

I said; "No you can't."

Maybe I learned not to be enamored by someone because they are tall from my older brother. Being that he is considerably shorter than myself.

Another task to do today would be to organize my photos from last year and get some up on Flick'r. Been on my short list for a while. An old acquaintance of mine has started a blog on photography. I will be adding him to my blog list.

I'll be making another run at trying to make some money on e-bay. But you need money to make money. You see all those free $500 gift cards. Well you have to sign up for a lot of stuff to get them and not cancel a portion of the offers over some period of time. It means it takes time to get the gift card and it's going to cost you something in relation to the other things you have to sign up for. But for most cards you can get at least 90% of the value on e-bay, minus e-bay's fee and postage.

Why... I saw a $50 Home Depot gift card with a bid of $51.
