I found out that your Mom has not been taping Oprah's daily TV program lately. She has some other priority. The "earth moved".
I have been exercising regularly for 10 years. The building always has "elevator music" playing in the background. The music stopped. I don't know if it is cost saving thing or not. It is really erie to hear your shoes squeek or conversations from the other end of the mall because it is like a echo chamber. Again I think the "earth moved".
Last night I watched the Purple People Eaters destroy the Green Bay Packers (remember I am an owner with my 1 share of stock). I have always advocated looking at the "big picture". Most people, including Grasshopper No.4 think that football at the professional level is a skilled game. They are so wrong. It is an entertainment event. It is like a Halloween party. People dress up in costumes, they paint their faces like Indians wearing war paint, hold tailgate parties in the rain and drink lots of beer. People cheer, jump up and down with enthusiasm and spill beverages on the person sitting next to them at the game. Oh yeah, there is pre-game hype and taunting like "our team is going to whip you a--". The game last night had extra excitement because Favre (it is really pronounced Fave-ray) which is French for "ego-maniac". Favre got his chance to stick it to the Packers. The reality is that Minnesota has a really good team and they made Favre's job very easy. Who would have guessed that Favre got his chance to stick it to Thompson and the Green Bay Packers. Favre and Company entertained us. I felt the "earth move".
Lastly, Grasshopper No.4 has been losing every youth football game this year and so has Grandson Dominic's team (actually Dominic had a tie). Dominic described it as a "losing funk". Guess what? Both Dad and Son won their game last Thursday. Wonders never cease. The earth must have "moved".
I know there was a full moon on Sunday but I don't know if that can explain "the moving earth".
Love,
Dad
