Super Bowl!

Indy is upside down inside out, all spruced up for the big event.  SUPER BOWL!!!  I don't have a dog in this hunt, so I don't really care who wins.  Its just interesting to see the event unfold. Roger and I have talked about going downtown to walk the "super bowl village" and take in all festivities and all the energy.  Tonight was the night.  The weather even cooperated. Today's temps 60 degrees!!!  holymoly, don't tell the weather gods that its actually February.  Here are a few pics.  Even though I've been grousing about what a pain in the ass the logistics have been downtown for those of us who work downtown....its actually pretty cool, all things considered.  Now don't get me wrong.  I'll be back to my normal bitching about the traffic, increased security measures (police cars are actually sniffing cars in our parking garage!), etc tomorrow.  But for now, its pretty cool.  Here are a few pictures from the evening.  Downtown was positively buzzing with people.  At one point I said to Roger, "its a good thing we are old and boring.  If we were younger, we would stay out in this party atmosphere and drink too much and eat too much and stay out way tooooooo late.  Yah!  We're OLD!!!"  Ok, what I said may have been dripping in sarcasm but there

 was an element of truth.  Hangovers SUCK when you are over 40 , so yippee skippee , no hangovers for us!

  Anyway, it was good fun and nice to get out of the house and walk around in warm-ish temps with tens of thousands of our new best friends.

Nothing much has happened on this end. Roger hasn't felt great. Today was really the first day in several when he felt decent.  He even drove down to the boat for the day and drove back.  The impact of not feeling well is hard on him (and me).  And, honestly has made us both more reflective...not light bouncing off of us reflective but thoughts rattling around in our heads reflective.  I don't have any amazing "ohmygod" revelations for you.  If anything, all these thoughts rattling around is exhausting!  You never really have brain-mush moments of no thought.  There is always something out there. 

Last night, in between yawns, I said to Roger "I just don't know why I am sooooo tired. ((yawn, yawn, yawn))".  He responded, "well maybe because you are constantly going and maybe because you are constantly worrying about me. I'm so sorry this has happened and you have had to deal with all of this and take care of me ".  I just shook my head...silly man.  There is no place I would rather be than with Roger. No other place. Good or bad. And so, I told him.  Sure, if I could wave a magic wand and make him well all over again, I absolutely would but only so he wouldn't have any pain.  I told him I was the Energizer Bunny and he didn't have to worry...though we may have to buy a gross of energy drinks and vitamin B-6 and B-12.   I'll be wired for sound and bouncing off every wall in sight.  Weeeeeeee.

g'nite. love, a&r
