Bowled Over

Exciting Citrus Bowl. The Texas QB passed for 2 TDs and ran for two more, including a 60 yard TD run to put the game out of reach. The Michigan QB was supposed to be great, but he threw at least two interceptions.

A pretty good Cotton Bowl. Miami outplayed Ohio State. The Orange Bowl was pretty one sided: Oregon shut out Texas Tech.

Sad to hear this announcement before the Rose Bowl game: "We invite those who are willing and able to stand for the playing of the national anthem." I understand that some might not be able to stand, but otherwise, standing for the national anthem shouldn't be an optional thing.

Sugar Bowl: Ole Miss playing better in the second half, after making numerous mistakes in the first half. Dropped passes, then the receiver failed to run out of bounds at the end of the half.

Gunner taking a beating. Chad Eaton thought one of the hits was targeting. Dawgs lost a player to a targeting call. Not sure. I wasn't at the game. I was home watching the slo mo replays on the hi def wide screen. Did the defender lead with his hands?

On New Year's Eve I considered purchasing the last print edition of the AJC at RaceTrac but didn't. I did say goodbye to my friends at RaceTrac, as my daily free drink status ran out at year end. 

Our office closed at 3 pm Wednesday. I'd been busy all day with personal stuff for the most part. Then to the post office. Got to Perimeter Mall at 345 and learned they were closing at 4. So I didn't stay long.

Stopped by three thrift stores on the way home. Bought two pairs of sneakers: some gum soled New Balance 727s like so many people are wearing these days.

Also some classic Nike Air Max 90's with red trim. Christmas presents to myself. Plus I just sold a pair of Nike Air Marinos.

Ceil wanted me to pick up a pizza from Pizzeria Lucca but it had closed early. Picked up Moxie Burger instead.

C cooked breakfast Thursday morning, then steak and baked potatoes for supper.
