bowl games

Yeah, I think it started with the Rose Bowl. It was the name of the stadium and then became the name of the game, then other "bowls" were built and post-season college games were all called bowls.

The GA clip show was weird.

I have most certainly not been in a cleaning mood today. I cleaned the kitchen, then I cooked.

Was it a clip show, or a recap show?

Thanks for the bowl info. So the Superbowl got its name from college sports, huh? Cool.

Kristen, I have not, but I'm making a list.

I swept and raked the back yard. Swept the garage. Moved a bunch of stuff so it won't get rained on . flattend and tossed cardboard and put in the recycle bin. srubbed the bathroom top top bottom - leaner than it has been in a month. Put the xmas decoratation ( with Dh's help ) in the garage. picked up the billions of empty water bottles in the house. Installed new window blocks for all the windows. put in a load of laundry. soon I will hang up clothes.

The injury of your QB at the beginning of the game was quite a blow.

Oh, Palmer was injured? I didn't start watching until halfway through the 3rd quarter, b/c I was at the movies.

Well I only saw half of it, but it showed the essential soapy plot points of each episode, without any addition narration or scenes. Except for maybe a few vistas of Seattle.

There's nothing at all spoilery in that whitefont, unless you consider the format of the clip show to be spoilery.

mmm, vanilla coke.

There was a clip show? Huh.

I got to see my dad again today. Took him to lunch and then to the train station to go down to DC. Even though it was only a couple of hours, we got in some conversations we haven't before , like the fact he could have retired 10 years ago under the University's plan. But he isn't planning to. It's something that concerns me because I can't imagine what he'd do retired, other than drive my mom nuts and join all sorts of death-defying volunteer organizations. More than he already does those things, anyway. Well, apparently he can't imagine either (other than get OFF of the management of various projects.) I think he's sort of planning on keeping up the teaching and research as long as possible and hoping that he'll avoid being forced to make a decision by instead falling off a cliff during rescue or training! Gee, dad, thanks for that thought!

Then he told me that the wife of an acquaintance of his is still in and out of the hospital a year after falling off Winu Picchu (sp?) and breaking just about every bone in her body. 4 days before he climbed it. And then ended up helping evac a british tourist who had a bad fall.

So now I don't have to worry about my dad's retirement, I have to worry about his cliff clinging!

I'm drunk. I'm about to start dialing. Someone needs to stop me.

Dial me! Dial me!
