So far I haven’t mistakenly used last year’s 2014 date on any documents. There, I have just tempted fate.
Today you can be one of 500 people to shovel out the stands at Lambeau. They pay $10 per hour cash. The Packers provide the shovels. According to my calculations, it costs the Pack $5000 per hour for 8-10 hours of manual labor. I get concerned because as an owner of the Packers, it reduces the obscene profit we make from the extra playoff game. If you go to shovel, temperatures will be below 0 with 20 mph winds.
My new mantra is “take things slow and no quick moves”. If I don’t follow those guidelines, I tend to hurt myself. Taking things slow is not a normal thing for me to do. A corollary would be “let the snow blower do the work”. Years ago I didn’t have to create rules for myself because I had slave labor — Grasshoppers.
About the same time Aaron Roger injured his leg, I began to experience knee problems. Some people call that psychosomatic meaning I emotionally “picked up on some one else’s pain because I care so much”. Yep, that is it. As Aaron Rogers goes, so go I. If the positive rehab of my knee is any indication, Rogers will be okay Sunday against Dallas unless somebody steps on his leg.
Look around you. Listen. Wisconsinites are caught up in the Packers and it creates lots of excitement. Enjoy the ride!
Love,
Dad
