Super Bowl Sunday

Yeah I know I blogged about this yesterday too but by golly it is the last game of the season! No one watches the pro bowl so that game doesn't matter....not even to the pros.

So last night we had a huge surprise party for Beersnob. He came home from Qatar and believed he was in for a quiet night with Chianti and her new beau. Well we hide everyone and when he shows up and walks in, we all shout and he was genuinely surprised and taken aback.

It was great! We had close to thirty people there and it was a total success!

So today is also Super Bowl Sunday. Yeah most everyone I talked to are wanting Kurt Warner's story to continue its fairy tale course. They really don't have anything against the Steelers but really would like to see the underdog win the day. They think a story like that would lift the national mood a bit! I think it just might!

Yesterday there was also a poker tournament among friends and coworkers. I was put out early on a great hand but I made it a couple of rounds in and had a great time!

It was also one of the most historic days in Iraq as they had elections and there was no violence! It was one of the most successful elections in their history and a true vindication of the Iraq policy. I really don't think you will hear that news in its proper context on the networks though.

Iraq is a free country and a baby democracy in an unstable part of the world. This year is off to a great start!
