This weekend will be a big first for Nashville. We are hosting a Mixed Martial Arts competition and it will be broadcast live on CBS. There has been a lot of hoopla downtown with the fighters here. They are having press conferences and public appearances at all the downtown clubs. I’m not a big fan of any kind of fighting, so I’m not planning on going to the fights. There are a lot of guys from the office who have tickets and are going to make a big night of it. Oh well, I’ve got plenty of other things to keep my attention.
In Like a Lamb
The first few days of March have been gloriously warm and sunny. The day time temperatures have been in the 50’s and by the weekend they will be in the 60’s. I would love to see it hit 70 degrees! That’s Spring!
I wonder if the old wive’s tale of March coming in like a lamb means that it will go out like a lion? I sure hope not. We had such a nasty winter, everyone is sick of the cold and the wet and the wind. We are ready for Spring and Summer!
Congrats to the Saints!
The Saints won their very first Superbowl ever! It was a great game – close score and well played by all. Just one or two problems with a controversial call and a player who was penalized for unsportsmanlike behavior. I think he was just carried away with the moment, but that’s no excuse for spearing a guy who is down on the ground.
We were invited to a party but decided to stay home and watch it. I’m not feeling well and wanted to be able to go lie down if I started feeling badly. Can’t do that at someone else’s house. But I stayed up through the game and really enjoyed seeing the Saints win.
Baseball Fan
Baseball is still a great family sporting event. I would love to take my future kids to a baseball game.
this little girl has a great daddy. Look at his totally involvement in her happiness and achievements – no concerns about the loss of the souvenir ball. It was all about his daughter!
World AIDS Day Today
The morning news announcer said in a careless choice of words that we are celebrating World AIDs Day today. That was an unfortunate way to phrase that. Believe me, there is nothing to celebrate about AIDs. We are observing the day to raise awareness of the disease and to promote education and research to obliterate this awful disease.
