I'm Glad It's Over!

Sunday, December 26th: I'm glad that today is the 26th because that means it's another 365 days until we have to do it all over again. Actually, it turned out to be a Merry Christmas. B and C got so much, it took 2 hours for them to open all of it. B said C would have gotten more if she had been able to write Santa and tell him what she wanted. She also asked if they had birthday cake for Jesus, in Heaven! Too cute, hey?

I got my Christmas present. A stunning, come-from-behind Packers victory. I only wish it hadn't come down to the final :03. Could they ever just blow out the Vikings? OK, I admit, it was an exciting game to watch. My hands were shaking, I was sweating, and my heart was pounding. Brett Favre is the man! So is Ryan Longwell. The score and Vikings total yards were all the same. Ryan Longwell also kicked the game winning field goals, in both games, with 3 ticks on the clock. Now we're playoff bound.

I came home from shopping this morning, to the phone ringing. My mom was on the other end telling me that Reggie White had died in his sleep. I had the pleasure of meeting him in 1997. He actually came to our company Christmas party, gave a speech and said a prayer before our dinner. Then he stayed afterward and signed autographs and took pictures. I have an autographed helmet, sitting on my nightstand. He will be missed, not only for the type of football player he was, but more importantly for the type of man he was off the field.

Until next time.
