I hope this finds you all doing well.

I am enjoying the football on TV today, even though the Denver Broncos lost their game against the Ravens. It's nice when my team wins, but not critical to my happiness.

The commercials during football games are some of the best on TV. There is one for a chicken wings restaurant that is Superbowl quality: it shows the groundsman at a football stadium selectively activating the sprinklers on the field to distract the other team and help the home team win.

Right now I'm watching the San Diego - Oakland game, and it's pretty close so far. The Raiders are a traditional bitter adversary of the Broncos. I remember back when John Madden was their coach they seemed to play dirty and have a lot of tricky plays, but they probably weren't all that bad, it's just how I remember it.

This morning I got up early and turned up the heat in the house from the 55 degrees the thermostat was set at. What a luxury to have heat, I never take it for granted. I have lots of layers on, so am warm and toasty.

Our weather is blustery looking, but not very cold, in the mid-50s. There was rain down in the flat lands, but not up here. They needed it to put out a couple of brush fires.

Have a nice rest of the weekend, you all.
