A TRULY SUPER BOWL
What a game last night's Super Bowl was! I have to admit that after skipping lunch and working extra fast just to leave an hour early, I was afraid that I had sacrificed so much for so little. I figured the final score would be 70-0 Rams. Or at least well on the way to that. But I was mistaken. It turned out to be a great game ... and not just because of the football either.
I was happy to see such a large turn-out of people (and food!) in the CEFC Fellowship happ to watch the game. And how great to see the game on the screen in complete clarity (thanks to Jason's genius and his TV antenna. And to hear the sounds blazing through all those speakers. I mean, it felt like Pat Summerall and John Madden were in the room with us.
And that's not even mentioning the great performance U2 put on at halftime. Showing the names of all the Sept. 11 victims was very touching and showed that even Irish rockers who are internationally known have a soft-spot for this great nation of ours.
But I have to proudly admit that the loudest sounds were coming from the very people in the room. We were screaming, yelling, woo-hooing to every botched call (and there were many), every big hit, and every good commercial (like the AT&T Wireless MLife commerical with the bellybuttons: We were meant to live a wireless life. ). There's just something about having that time to bond and slap hands that really brings guys closer. And have all those chips there didn't hurt either!
All in all, a great time was had by all.
