Staying Home

It is now 2014.  I have written two checks and I did not make a mistake on the date.

I am now looking forward to getting “larger” Social Security checks.

Somebody stole our car(s).  There are two “white” cars in the garage replacing the two gray cars normally housed there.  I think it is called a salt coating.

The Green Bay Packers will play in zero degree weather in Sunday’s Playoff game.  Does it get any better.  They have a home game.  It is the frozen tundra.  And the Packers have a rich tradition and loyal fans.  What is this?  Fans are not buying all the tickets!  There is the potential of a “blackout” of TV in Wisconsin because of a NFL rule forcing a blackout if all tickets are not sold within 72 hours of the game.  No, there will not be a blackout.  Stupid rule!

Grasshopper No.4 could tell you more about the trials and tribulations of Ray Nitschke, fabled Green Bay linebacker.  He played center linebacker in many cold weather games.  Allegedly in one game, it was so cold that when he removed his football cleats, all his toes had turned purple.  It is called frostbite.  No his toes did not fall off but it was serious.  Nitschke would never complain.  Football players don’t complain.  There is no complaining in football.

Stay home.  Stay warm!

Love,

Dad
