Puppy Bowl II

My boss is sending me to visit a vendor next Wednesday & Thursday…in Houston. Right now the Houston trip is to fly in Wednesday and out Thursday. There are no late flights, so it'll be hard to stick around and even go to the publicly open Jam Session...trying to get two passes to the not-open-to-the-public Wednesday night Jam Session.

Watch the Big Break last night? Pretty interesting. They replayed it later, after the Duke/UNC game. One competitor, a Duke grad, is married to a guy who works and golfs with Ceil’s brother...Kristina Tucker’s quiet, small-town life is about to change. At least, she hopes so. In her adopted hometown of Pageland, the slender 25-year-old draws attention. In conversation with native South Carolinians, her soft Swedish accent stands out, too.

Notice Jagger’s Nikes? Another Stone was wearing them as well.

Ceil always goes all out when she fixes a meal for people...it's usually better than we eat, with bread and dessert. But our kids don't eat the fancy stuff that much...but they do love bread and dessert.

My youngest was all over Puppy Bowl II…my phone was ringing with kids making sure we were watching. Did you see last year? A lot less commercialized than this year. Notice the stadium wall was covered with ads for dog food and Bissell Vacuums. The kitty halftime was bigger than the puppy bowl, though the kitty halftime grand finale was a letdown…all the fireworks distracted the cats. I liked how the ref came out before halftime with the Bissell to clean up.
