Well, here we are, one day away from the Superbowl. Since John died, I haven’t paid a lot of attention to football…or any sport, really. Tomorrow will be a big day with the Seattle Seahawks playing the Patriots for the big win.
I plan to watch
the game and have my snacks and booze all ready for ingestion during the game.
I’m going to drink Maker’s Mark bourbon and eat brie that’s been baked inside puff
pastry. So, the most important part of this great day has been determined and
will be executed flawlessly…not to mention the ingestion of these wondrous foods
and drink.
The event will
happen right here in my own living room. I haven’t been invited to share in any
other celebrations of this event, but that’s perfectly fine with me. I much
prefer to watch the game unfold by myself…although I’ll have John’s orb lit up
so he can watch too…as well as imbibe my own booze and inhale my own treats.
As I write
this, it’s entirely possible I may receive an invitation or two to go elsewhere
to watch this wondrous game, but even if that happens, I plan to say, “Thank
you, but no thank you.” This isn’t because I’m feeling antisocial or anything
like that; it’s merely because I’d rather do this all by myself…with John in
his orb, of course.
Two years ago,
the gin hit just a bit harder than expected and I fell asleep…okay, passed out…before
the game ended. I don’t even remember who was playing, but it wasn’t until the
next day…Monday…that I found out who won. I don’t know if that will happen
tomorrow, but if it does, that’s perfectly okay too because the only observer
will be Kuma and he doesn’t have a clue anyway. Unless, of course, I put the
Puppy Bowl on and then Kuma will be barking and jumping around the living room
as though he expects to participate with all those puppies.
Anyway, as I
said in the beginning, the next big event, i.e., the Superbowl, is tomorrow.
After that, it’s Valentine’s Day, followed by Presidents’ Day and then we’re on
to St. Patrick’s Day. It’s amazing how time just flows along, highlighted by
one event after another. Before we/I know it, it will be July 4th
and time to celebrate the founding of our country two-hundred and fifty years
ago.
I’m sorry, but
I’m getting months ahead of myself. For now, I’ll just look forward to the
Seattle Seahawks winning the Superbowl…and how long will they remain a Seatle team
since I’ve heard it is up for sale if that information was actually true. So, I
guess we should all just enjoy tomorrow because it may be the last one.
