greetings from tim and jens… i’ve snuck off from the festivities because i’ve exceeded my 5 min of allowed football on tv. we’re up here watching the patriots play the colts… both teams seem positively obsessed with a small oblong ball that they keep pushing back and forth. whats even more interesting is that many folks seem to be watching them obsess about the ball. very curious

actaully.. i have a little bit more interest in football  (only a little) when  I played  football in 5th (or was it 6th ? ) grade .. i remember being as bewildered about the game then as i am about things like travel expense accounts and income tax now.. I Know that something important was happening.. but i simply couldn’t understand the rules that everybody around me seemed to understand so well

i do have some great memories of football as a kid though.. i remember setting up our weird tv tray s in the den eating really big (dagwood) sandwiches and drinking beer with my dad .. i think that started when i was only 13 or so… i still equate football with underage drinking.. so I think i;ll go get myself a beer for old time sake

nite all, nite sam
