Super Bowl Woes

I somehow got roped into organizing a Super Bowl viewing at work in our 5th floor conference room looking out over the Narodni Muzeum and parts of Wenceslas Square. I sincerely doubt there will be more than 10 people, but we'll see. These little things are quite big in the grand scheme of things - and I find they go a long way to boost morale.

The game starts at 00:20. Yes, that's right - after midnight! Last year I actually watched it until about 4:00 am but left before Eli Manning's awesome pass to Plaxico Burress. Instead I had to settle for reruns on a German sports channel. Anyhow, last year was memorable - me, my cookies, and the tech guys, who enjoyed my cookies. We'll see who this year brings. I'm not baking as I need every bit of energy to stay up for the first quarter or two.

Today's not yet over, but it has been a good day. Enjoyed lunch with Aska, Dan, and Eliza followed by watching "Lars and the Real Girl" which is a very sweet movie if you haven't seen it. And, now for Russian homework! Arghhhhh!

Did you watch the whole thing? Well worth staying for the final seconds!

No, I left around 2:30 and was in bed a little after 3:00 am. I just couldn't do it! Glad you enjoyed it. I heard the second half was the best. At least I say the 100 yd touch down run!
