Subject: Re: Super Bowl

Did I just yell, "fire" in an empty movie theatre?  Sorry, folks.  The "free lodging" and "40 inch flat screen" has captured my imagination.  No matter what, I will be traveling alone - Ann is a school administrator and in this day and age, she has NO flexibility to take time off while school is in session.  That doesn't mean I would stick her with the super bowl cooking if I snuck out of town.  For those who know Ann, she would make something very nice but not get hung up on trying to deliver what has become a traditional super bowl sunday menu item.  So, she could care less, it's everyone else that would be really pissed off at me.  I'm just trying to decide if that really matters to me at this point in life...

 

Probably, the only person who will have a really solid reason not to be there on Super Bowl Sunday will be Steve Kelley - he'll most likely be covering it as he does for all major sporting events! 

 

Go ahead and continue formulating the plan(s).  I'm putting on my marketing director hat for this one - WARNING:  The Spin Doctor has just arrived.

 

Instead of viewing the Super Bowl as a liabililty - use it as THE REASON for the gathering.  The class of '67 is forever linked to the Super Bowl:  the first super bowl was in 1967(Green Bay Packers over the Kansas City Chiefs, 35 - 10)!  It's a perfect match... And, maybe it could work out that I could prepare the main course for the game ...  hmmmmm... or maybe not ... hmmmm....
