Superbowl......super, indeed!

It was a treat for me this year to actually be able to keep track of what's going on in the world of the NFL and have people to talk to about it. You see, I spent the last seven years (prior to this one) living in Canada. I may as well have tried to have conversations about existentialism within the realm of the Smurfs. The people that I was close to were simply not interested in any sport that did not start with and "H", end with a "Y", and have "OCKE" in the middle.

Having said all that, I found myself caring more about the Superbowl this year than I had for a long time. Yes, I was excited that my two favorite teams were the combatants last year. However, it was quite depressing to go to a Superbowl party where myself and my brother-in-law (he was doing his internship up there) were the only ones who gave two flips about the game. This year was a different story.

And what a great story it was. It was almost "Dave and Goliath"-esque in nature. Peyton's little brother against the unstoppable Tom Brady. It really played off a bit like a football movie, where the underdog wins in the end. It was the first time that I was so wrapped up in the game that I didn't care very much about the commercials. Good thing too. There just wasn't a whole lot (with a few exceptions) to write home about in this department.

Either way, great game. And now, as promised.......





And then, of course, the cuteness.
