Super Bowl: Who You Picking?

Fun fact: as the visiting team, the Chiefs will be wearing white jerseys in the Super Bowl. They’ll most probably be wearing red pants and white socks. The three previous times they wore this combo against the Eagles, the Chiefs won the game – including the Super Bowl two years ago. So now you know who to pick.

Plus the Chiefs are Caitlin Clark’s team, so there’s that. Still waiting to hear that Angel Reese is hangin with the Eagles, just to be contrary.

Left work yesterday at 530. Ceil cooked Mexican for supper. Reid can eat two enchiladas at Taqueria – I have only been ordering one. Of course last night I did fix myself two quesadillas. Also two for lunch on both Saturday and Sunday.

Watched the crime detective show High Potential, with guest star Steve Guttenberg. Last night I also watched just a little part of the musical acts that have been on Saturday Night Live over the past 50 years. Some legendary acts, starting with Billy Preston in the first show. The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, REM, the Strokes, the Band, and on and on. Info about musical skits like the Blues Brothers. I recorded it but doubt I will ever watch the rest. Maybe this Sunday afternoon when Ceil is away.

Up early to work out at the gym this morning. Work wasn’t too busy yesterday but heating back up today. Plenty to do. Hard to think of everything. The stress makes me want to eat.

Low tonight of 39 degrees. Expecting a cloudless morning, so maybe I can sneak in a quick 9 holes of golf tomorrow morning.

Now there are reports that Biden had given FAA clearance for all those drones over New Jersey that so many people were panicking about, so maybe they aren’t the aliens after all. Never mind.

Sounds like Charles Baugh’s father’s funeral will be a graveside service at Westview Cemetery. Not sure when yet. I think Charles is paid to sing at a church, perhaps Episcopal.

ERNIE LOMBARDI  [SABR Bio] doubled in four consecutive innings, off four different pitchers. On 08-May-1935, Lombardi doubled off Philadelphia’s Syl Johnson, Orville Jorgens, Euel Moore, and Frank Pearce in the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th innings. Lombardi played for the Brooklyn Robins in 1931 and the Boston Braves in 1932. He is the only National Leaguer to ground into 30 double plays and still win the MVP in 1938. Lombardi was the first ever with 30+ GIDP. The high school originally named for educator John William McClymonds is the alma mater of Lombardi, Frank Robinson, Bill Russell of the Celtics (NBA HOF), the NBA’s Paul Silas (a College Basketball HOFer), and All-Stars Curt Flood and Vada Pinson also attended that school.

Luke 12:22. Jesus said to his disciples Do not be anxious about your life, what you eat, nor about your body, or what clothes you’ll wear. 23. Life is about more than food and clothing. 24. Consider the birds: they neither sow nor reap. They neither store up food in barns, yet God feeds them. You are much more valuable than birds! 25. Who by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26. If you aren’t able to do such a small thing as that, then why do you worry about the rest? 27. Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They neither toil nor spin, yet even Solomon in all his glory was not as beautiful as them. 28. But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive today but burned tomorrow, how much more will he clothe you, oh you of little faith? 29. Do not seek what you will eat or drink, nor be worried. 30. The nations of the world seek after these things. Your Father knows that you need them. 31. Seek God’s kingdom, and all these things will be added to you. 32. Fear not, my flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33. Sell your possessions and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with treasure in heaven that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches, and no moth destroys. 34. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
