Sunday is the day; the Super Bowl will finally be played in Dallas, where the fans will not see part of the pre game show, a military flyover. The roof will be closed!!! Who thought Dallas would be more like Pittsburgh or Green Bay weather-wise?
The media trying to make a big deal of Steelers quarterback Big Ben taking his teammates out to a gentleman’s bar. I guess when the Steelers sang the Billy Joel song “The Piano Man,” it brought fear into the eyes of everyone there. As much as these guys need to work in preparation for the game, they deserve a night out at the beginning of the week.
I believe this will be a great Super Bowl. When the playoffs began I was hoping the Steelers would get there, but I also thought the AFC would prevail whoever got in.
Also on Sunday we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Ronald Reagan. Most American’s believe he was the best president of our times, and such an anniversary should be honored by all of us. Let us put politics aside and honor him, read about him, and though recordings listen to him. I actually think it is great when both sides of the isle try to compare what they are doing to him.
The unemployment rate dropped to 9%. I do not think we need to celebrate this fact, I wish the numbers would tell us how many people have just dropped out of the job market and have just given up and are no longer part of the statistics. Only 36,000 jobs were created last month, and the spin doctors are blaming the weather.
A tip of the hat to Mark Kelly the husband of representative Gabrielle Giffords. He will man the last space station mission. We should listen to what this man says about his decision
Finally, back to the Super Bowl. If you are throwing a party here is a diabetic friendly recipe thanks to the website dlife, and one of my favorites:
