The big game...

 

Yep, it's Superbowl Sunday.  I have read that there is a movement to have businesses allow employees to have tomorrow off... supposedly to allow them a day to recuperate after today's festivities.  They need a day to recuperate after watching a football game??  Well, and 6 hours of pregame programming.  Still, it isn't like those same people are participating in an athletic event.

As usual, we are also participating in the festivities.  Also as usual: I am in it for the food and the commercials.  Some media outlets have been airing the commercials ahead of time... I'm a bit more of a purist, and prefer to see the commercials during the game... as it was meant to be.  I can always see them again on the various "Best Superbowl Commercials" shows that will be airing over the next week.

I won't be watching them on Monday, though.  While many people are lobbying for that "National Day Of Rest," we will be out dealing with the motorthome.  Yes, Winnebago did a decent job with the repairs, but we off-loaded a bunch of stuff into our storage unit before taking the coach to the frozen northland for repairs.  We drove through rain on the way home, so the coach is in dire need of being washed.  We also winterized it with the pink RV antifreeze, so that needs to get flushed out and the water system sanitized.  All of this takes time.  And effort.

I would be lobbying for a "household day of rest" for Tuesday, but Rufus has his annual check-up at the vet on Tuesday, and I am speaking to a group of 4th and 5th graders over Zoom about boating traffic here in the Tropical Tip.  Seems I answered a question on FaceBook about why the Intracoastal Waterway can't easily be moved to eliminate barges from passing through our swingbridge... the person asking the question is a teacher... and, here we are.
