Super Bowl Mania!

This year the super bowl is here in Arizona. Jay and I have always had mixed feelings about major events happening in our area. You like the excitement in the air but you hate the inconvience. This is no exception.

Jay had a meeting in downtown Phoenix yesterday only to discover jersey baracades around the Hyatt hotel for a two block radius. Seems the NFL is all staying in the Hyatt. They don't want anyone even driving around it for security reason. I can understand the risk and agree with the safety measures. But of course, living it is a pain in the pattootee!!!

We also hear a lot of complaints about the weather for the super bowl. Now, we have experience strange weather for this time of year. I have seen more rain in the last two weeks than the previous 5 years we have been here. It has been cold, blustery, kind of damp. However, it is still Arizona. The highs are still in the 70's and come on.... the fans are from New York and Boston. This has to be heaven for them, even with a little rain!!.

As for the rest of us. Jaron is back in school, and Jace is out looking for a job. He is on leave from school until Fall 2008. Jay and I are living through our normal January. Just trying to keep going through the lazy days of winter. Nothing on television, nowhere to really go, just work. Kind of peaceful, I can't complain.
