My brother and his wife will not be watching the game.
I'm not a football fan at all, it means nothing to me. Its a great time to go shopping or out to eat at a nice restaurant, you will just about have the place to yourself. We had to put an uncle in hospice yesterday, so actually we are doing the final goodbye thing today.

Sorry about your uncle...
The best thing about the Superbowl is that spring training is right around the corner.
I wasn't trying to derail the thread about my Uncle Billy. He was a WW2 Marine that fought on Iwo Jima. He was a hero to my mother's side of the family before that for dropping out of school to help the family during the Great Depression. He is 92, he fell and hit his head which caused him to stroke out. His two brothers are vets too and in their 90's, "the Greatest Generation" is slowly fading away. I have a lot of respect for them.
I do like baseball, Spring Training does get me excited. Warm weather is on the way, Go Braves!

For years my wife has dropped me off at the local watering hole so I could join my buds watching the S/B. When it was over she would pick me up. This year she and another guys wife decided to join us. Damn!!!---- another tradition up in smoke. I hope she isn't too disappointed when I break the news to her that she is still the DD.
She is going on a 4 day sewing retreat with her girl friends next week. I think I'm going to tell her that a bunch of us guys will be joining them.

Hi Tony, thanks, its good to be here. I miss this place a bunch.
Sorry about Uncle Billy, Scratch.
We just came home from visiting my step-dad, Ray, at his nursing home. Another Marine vet that fought on Iwo Jima. He only told me his story once. I believe he was in the seventh wave on the beach, and he told me he was five or six guys below the last one in "the picture."
God bless them all.
