More Behind THIS )

My sister bought me this t-shirt from her trip to New Orleans over the weekend. If you can't tell, the design is a sternwheeler riverboat flanked by a pair of Dixieland musicians.

I don't look too hot these days, do I?

*) On the Super Bowl--for the first time ever I saw Peyton Manning's dark side. At a few times when he was on the sidelines watching his team try to hold the Saints, the looks on his face reminded me of Tony Perkins in Psycho and Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange. For all his "nice guy" image it wouldn't surprise me if somebody cast him as a villain in a horror movie after his football career is over.

Meanwhile, nobody can say the Saints didn't earn their victory. Yes, they DID have "something to prove"...and now we'll have to get used to them being called "defending NFL champions".

I didn't watch the Who's halftime show or more than a few commercials. I get my sister's point about the Denny's commercial with the screaming chickens. I can't remember the last time I ate at a Denny's anyway.

*) I'm starting a Google account. I used to have one, but then I shuffled it to Mum for reasons that aren't worth explaining.

*) The weather is typical February lousy. Tonight is cold...not enough to freeze the water pipes, but enough to make us miserable. I've been hitting the coffee and cocoa very hard but wish I didn't have to.

*) I'm waiting for three things in the coming mail: a package of scale model parts to review; a check from the State of Tennessee to pay me for three days of jury duty; a response from the IRS to my return. Which one would you think I'd get first?

Don't know if I'll watch all of it...but probably a good part of it. I'm not rooting for either side this year. Many of the people here are rooting for the Colts because of Peyton Manning (the former star of the Vols); my brother-in-law is from New Orleans so the Asheville gang is supporting the Saints. Me? I just hope it goes the distance and delivers some spectacular plays on the field.

Since Friday was Christmas, it felt like a Sunday, and since I was in close proxmity of my sister, I caught her malady of Monday for the following week, which I suffered Saturday morning. Only I'm looking at Monday now. But will it be a Monday-strength Monday, or just a Holiday-depleted Monday? I guess we'll find out soon enough.

If there's any good to come of this, it might mean that my sister won't suffer from Monday today in New Orleans, where she is vacationing.

Hey.

I know I'm showing my age here, but does anybody else recall a major terrorist or crime incident that happened in downtown New Orleans--specifically the one that happened in the late 1970s? I have this vague recollection of SWAT teams and National Guard Chinook helicopters in action. The TV networks broke into regular programming to cover the fracas...but I can't find any mention of it on-line.
