What do you like best about the Super Bowl? The game, the TV commercials, the atmosphere with family and friends? Or could you care less?

Wow, people are choosing d. That is pretty much a good sign of the times. A country in turmoil always starts to over shadow even the traditional values and the things that Americans love and what always made it great about living in America.

I admit I almost clicked that one too. But you know what? I am going to choose c. I'm not much of a football fan, but hubby is. I'm going to pop some appetizers into the oven and I going look forward to curling up on the couch beside him. Then I am going to intentionally choose the opposite team my husband wants to see win and let "both" games begin! LOL

If only for a few hours on Super Bowl Sunday, I going to put out of mind the politics and issues that are squeezing us with concerns and worries about the path our beloved country is on. Then I am going to close my eyes for the just a few moments and thank the big guy upstairs for my blessings and the wonderful man sitting next to me!

What beautiful sentiments. I am not a football fan nor is my husband. However, with your imagery, I am a bit sad that I am not.

Off topic alert!

I met Loretta Lynn while at sea in 1982. She came on board to do a concert for us, 600 squids and 1200 Marines. The hangar deck was a bit crowded.

I got a picture with her, an autograph, and she let me plant one on her cheek. She signed pictures for people until there was no one left. A classy lady.

Brooke Shields, on the other hand, signed about a hundred, said her wrist hurt, and we never saw her again.

My favorite is a picture with Charlton Heston (dude, we need you now!). We were the same height in the picture, but I was standing on an 8" deck hatch. He was TALL, and very gracious.

Others: Wayne Newton (way better than I thought), Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders (Yum!), and the Bob Hope Christmas Special, I think the 1982 one. THAT was the best of all.

I wish you would have the "care less" option more often LOL (especially on sports questions)

notSocialist. Cool Story. I worked with Mel Tillis & his band back in the 80s in Cheyenne or Laramie. Can't remember. Very nice group of men.
