The commercials and their game
So many times before, the Super Bowl commercials have out-played the teams at the NFL’s biggest event. I heard a statistic last week, from a media source I can no longer remember, that more than half the television viewers of the Super Bowl watch primarily to see the commercials. Now I sit down each year to watch the game, and will admit, many games have caused me to get refills, food, and frequent the commode during football play and be back in my seat in time for the commercials.
This year we were treated with a good game of football and commercials some are saying were lame. I say “hold onto your wallet that’s Jerry Jones walking by”. Wanna know my votes? Continue reading “The commercials and their game”
Now that’s good history
Today, February 6, 2011
…the Super Bowl is in Dallas, less the Cowboys of course,
…Bill O’Reily interviewed President Obama in the White House,
…I took yet another sunrise picture
And on this day,
Chirping
Something’s up.
We get a warm day for a change, the snow and ice pretty much melts away, reportedly some silly football game is about to be played soon in God’s Stadium (with the roof window closed I might add – you know who is gonna be mmmmaaaadddd!).
What’s got all the birds around here frisky, singing, and carrying on today?
Maybe the Groundhog told them about the coming of an early spring.
EIR: A Funeral of Which I’m Late For
This EIR (Email Inspiration Received) came from Deb. Some of you may have gotten it from her as well. It’s kind of a Sandra Bullock story, but ya know sometimes we need to just slow down and stop trying to look around whatever (whoever) is right in front of our face…by golly, let Sandra kiss us if that’s what she wants to do.
THE WRONG FUNERAL
God doesn’t make mistakes. He puts us where He wishes us to be. They say there are no mistakes, for everything there is a purpose. Makes you think….
Enjoy! We’ll never know where our paths will take us!
The Day the Music Died
In an Iowa corn field 52 years ago today, Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, The Big Bopper, and pilot Roger Peterson died in a tragic plane crash. Spared that night was Waylon Jennings who surrendered his seat to The Big Bopper, and backup musician Tommy Allsup by losing a coin flip with Valens for the other plane seat (In 1979, Allsup opened a Fort Worth nightclub called “Tommy’s Heads Up Saloon” as a tribute to his luck that night). It truly was a fateful night.

Punxy Phil
It’s Groundhog Dog! Show’s over however.
In case you missed it…Punxsutawny Phil did not see his shadow, meaning our dreadful winter is about over, if you believe in the legend. I, for one, was ready for a cloudy day.
Ya know groundhogs are actually woodchucks – “Hey you dang woodchucks, quit chucking my wood!” (funny commercial). They’re also kin to the squirrel, so that means they dig and climb, and can even go for a swim if the need arises.
A snow day for most
Today it was cold, cold, cold, cold, cooooollllddddd for north Texas. It started with thunder-n-lightning rain about 3:30 this morning, then that turned to sleet about 4:30, and the wind chill was around 0°. Perfect weather for Mackie, Queen of Scots – she suggested we make the best of the day since there was no way the boss man was driving to Fort Worth today (and maybe tomorrow): Continue reading “A snow day for most”
