Today is Feb. 1. My brother Jack (real name John) would have been 70 today. Our great grandfather John (Myrna’s Dad) was born on Feb. 2 (Groundhog Day). There were years when John and John celebrated together. They were a couple of Johns.
The Catholic Pope was presiding over a public religious ceremony recently in memory of the Jewish Holocaust. There were the traditional white dove birds released during the proceedings symbolic of kindness and love. The doves were attacked viciously by seagulls. I don’t think that is good symbolically. I bet it was Friday and they were fighting over fish.
The Donald Driver lovefest has begun. Apparently there is a celebration at Lambeau next week and free tickets were being handed out at 9:00AM this morning. The tribute will be in the Atrium at Lambeau (to avoid the cold). Would you believe that people began to “line-up at 3:30AM this morning in temperatures below zero and windchills greater than 20 below. Really? Is there a sanity test for Packer fans?
Finally this weekend the Super bowl extravaganza ends. Dan Marino, an announcer for ESPN has admitted he fathered a child out of wedlock with a comrade ESPN producer. Ray Lewis has continually denied he rubbed deer antler oil (which apparently had performance enhancing benefits) on his ailing arm and Beyonce promised not to lip-sync the National Anthem. Easy for Beyonce. She isn’t scheduled to do the Anthem. Oh yeah! Brett Favre is going to do some Super Bowl hype for the NFL channel. Have you ever been to a circus?
So there you have it. Free Donald Driver tickets and the Super Bowl. Have a great weekend.
Love,
Dad
