Terry
Terry is doing about the same. She will be walking with the walker in the house more this week as we try to ramp up her physical activity. I THINK this may be the last week of WT but we will see.
We watched the first half of the Super Bowl last night and then wanted to watch the half time show as well. In my opinion the half time show was a dud! BUT I admit I know little to nothing about entertainment. I did not even catch the name of the person who was singing. Anyway as half time came to an end we moved into the other room and I decided to sleep. Terry did watch TV and I was awake when she let me know the final score. She did NOT watch it but at times would turn to the game to see the score just for my sake. I am not sure but I wanted Tampa to win. I think it may be because for some reason I have a negative view of KC Mahomes BUT in reading about him yesterday he came across as a pretty special guy. I may just be jealous because he makes $50,000,000 a year for playing!!! Regardless as I read on the computer this morning KC just did not have the line play they needed to deal with Brady. It seems unreal that a 6th round draft pick from 20+ years ago could now own 7 Super Bowl wins and 5 Super Bowl MVPs. Enough
I am not sure what time I play tennis today. I think it actually is mid afternoon. Karl puts together two courts each Monday and we got put on "over-flow" today so it pushed it to afternoon.
Not much of anything planned today. Now that I am finished with my cards what next? Maybe I could start on the 2022 calendar! Wait I actually did start it as I forgot one of the birthdays in Joan's family but I could do more work on it yet it just seems a bit early to be thinking about 2022 as we just started that darn 2021 which is full of the virus. Terry and I have been staying safe from it. I am starting to think that maybe I should look into a shot as they are getting a bit easier to get it done. I just do not want to drive 100 miles to get one.
Well it is kind of a football day as the Super Bowl was last night so here is my short "hero" football story. It was a chilly October evening in 1963 and we were playing a night football game at Enderlin. We had won all of our game so far but our offense was OK at best. We had started out by shutting out Oaks 10-0 and had won at Ashley, LaMoure and Kulm but most of the games had been close. At Enderlin we scored a touchdown in the first quarter and held that lead until early in the 4th when we gave up a touchdown and an extra point to make it a 7-7 game. There were few if any good kickers so most teams would run for the extra point. We had Todd who was an OK kicker and he usually kicked our extra points. Enderlin had the ball late in the 4th quarter and had short yardage for a first down BUT they ran an end around to their right side which was where Jack was the outside linebacker and I was the end. We stopped them for a loss and took over the ball with just a few minutes to play. We drove down the field and got the ball to the 15 yard line with almost no time left. Our coach decided to let Todd try a field goal. I mean a field goal in high school ball for us was unheard of. Well Todd split the uprights and we won 10-7. Now I had the tackle on the end around so I am thinking I was a hero but of course the real hero was Todd.😁. It was a fun trip back to Forman but for some reason I never was able to sign on for millions of dollars!!! The not so good ending was we went into our last game undefeated but I had to sit out the last game as I had a bad cut on my leg from a spike that happened during practice. To this day I KNOW coach Hanson should have allowed me to play but NO and we lost 12-13 so we had to settle for co-champions of the league.
THAT IS MY STORY AND I AM STICKING TO IT AND OF COURSE NO MONEY FOR PLAYING FOR ME!!! To this day I feel I was a hero for the tackle on the end around!!!!!!! I am not sure my defensive play even made up for my lack of offense but then I always felt that it was more fun to smash a runner to the ground than to catch a pass!!!
FP is gone and I am on the the rest of the day.
I did go to a SB party. I was hoping it would have been a closer game but that was not to be. This being KC territory with a lot of Kansans here it was pretty red around here. I would have liked to see Mahomes win another ring but they didn't play like a championship team. Oh well, there's always next year and who knows who will be in the hunt then. The half time show was horrible. I have seen better. The commercials were pretty lame as well. There was a program on this week of the 20 best SB commercials and they were great. The Bud commercials were the best by far. I laughed until I hurt at some of them. We had a light freezing drizzle all day yesterday. Our roads are pretty slick today. Lots of people going in the ditch and accidents everywhere. I have a couple of friends that are first responders and EMTs. They were out all night on one call after another. Doesn't take much on these hilly, curvy roads. Hopefully they'll get better today. Think I'll just stay home and be warm. Have a good day on the courts. Love, Helen
