Geez, Beth -- you kind of buried the lead there! How's your tooth??

For realz!

After I finished my football food plan my vegan friend texted me asking if she could join us. Ooops - good friend so I told her to bring her own food or hummus, peppers, and lettuce would be her choices. I have always had her here previous years but hadn't invited her since she had one of those bs memes about boycotting the game over players kneeling. So I figured she wasn't watching. Guess she got over it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We're having shrimp cocktail and jalapeno poppers and wings. Maybe turning on the game, I guess?

On NPR this morning, they had a guy who is a veteran who said he started watching football MORE because the kneeling is exactly what he's fought for.

I always wish there were more emphasis on the fact that it's basically the most respectful protest possible.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Dang, beth, that is a lot of day!

I have no Super Bowl plans. Might be a good time to go the gym and have the whirlpool to myself.

Because books.

Philly fans of all Philly sports are Completely Extreme Fans. As a non-football person, I'm just waiting for it be over and hoping the Eagles win so fans don't, like, set the city on fire or something.

beth, your poor tooth! That's some day.

I feel like they are as likely to set the city on fire after a win?

This is also true. Ben's friend took his car into the city over playoffs weekend, and in the celebrations following the Eagles' win, his car was almost totaled by people walking all over it. It's still in the shop.

According to the SNL skit last night, they are.

Yeah, they are not very well behaved. And yet, I am hoping they win.

I always wish there were more emphasis on the fact that it's basically the most respectful protest possible.

Exactly.

So sad, my eggs aren't peeling nicely. The last 20 times I made HB eggs, no problem. Today, yuck.
