Super Bowl Pick

The Super Bowl is Sunday night, so I'll make my pick today.

I'll say it'll be Seahawks 24, Patriots 20.

Yogurt

I had my first yogurt in a couple weeks last night, and it went okay.

Maybe I can ease back into eating diary again.

Email

When my computer dings telling me I have email, I tend to assume it's a response to an email I just sent.  Of course, it's usually not.

After all these years, you'd think I'd know better.

Dennise

My new aide Dennise seems to be good with tools,   She brought some from home and fixed the brakes on my wheelchair. 

She's a very good aide, too.

Long Afternoon

My daytime aide provider failed, again, to send somebody out here until dinner shift Saturday.

This time, though, it did notify the other aide provider I use of its failure before the fact.  I guess that's progress.

Back To Normal

I have my regular aide rotation back in place, which is a good thing.

The other aides did fine, but I'm more comfortable with the ones I know.

Deflate Gate

The Patriots may have used illegally deflated balls in their game against the Colts last week.

Brlichick is known for such stunts, which is too bad.  They're good enough to win without that stuff.

Computer Screen

My computer screen has acted up yesterday and today.  It hasn't come on without fiddling.

Once on, though, it's been okay.  I don't get it.

Improvising

My regular aide has car troubles this week, so we're mixing and matching with some new aides.

It's not my favorite thing.

Colrs Done

The Colts were blasted last night in the AFC Championship game, 45-7.

They had a really good season, but they clearly have weaknesses to fix before they can really compete with the big boys.

Tough Time

I had another vomiting incident last night.  It's the phlegm problem.  I feel okay otherwise, except being a bit queasy.  A hard cough can bring stuff up.

This is the worst this problem has been in a few years.

Little Sick

I threw up a little again this morning, but I think it was due to my mistake.  I drank an Ensure, which is milk based, for breakfast.  Milk, especially in the morning, creates more gunk in my throat and sometimes makes me throw up.

I feel okay.

Warm Up Coming

The weather guys say the temperature Saturday might hit 50 after a really cold start to 2015.

That's good.  Getting out of January without some winter weather calamity is the objective, and we're about halfway there.

Buckeyes Prevail

Ohio State won the national championship in college football last night-- with a third string quarterback, no less-- by pounding on Oregon, 42-20.

My brother in Lima, Ohio, is no doubt happy, and I'm pleased a traditional Big 10 football power won it.

Colts Advance

The  Colts beat the Broncos in Denver yesterday and will play the Patriots in Foxboro next week for the AFC championship.

If the Colts play their best, they have a shot.  Otherwise, it could get ugly.

Terror

The double terrorist situation in France seems to be over, with all the terrorists killed.

Coupled with the cyber attack on Sony Pictures for making a comedy about assassinating North Korea's dictator, there seems to be a direct assault on fundamental Western values by those who would deny to everyone save themselves freedom of speech-- political, artistic, and religious.  In that case, proportional responses may not be enough.

New Aide

Another new aide came last night to be shown the ropes, and she did just fine.

She starts on her own next week, and I think I'll be comfortable with her.

Root For The Ravens

If the Colts and the Ravens win this weekend, the Colts would host the AFC Championship game.

That would give the Colts a good shot at the Super Bowl.

First Snow

We had the first big snow of the season last night, and real cold is settling in for the next few days.

I wouldn't be at all disappointed if this is the worst cold snap we have this winter.

Colts Advance

The Colts won their first round playoff game yesterday fairly easily,  beating Cincinnati.

Next up are the Broncos in Denver,   If the Colts play their best, I think they have a good shot.

CBS4

Channel 4 has been the station of basketball, Sammy Terry, and Cowboy Bob for decaades.  Now, it's the Indianapolis CBS affiliate, and Channel 8 is largely on its own.

It's a strange world.
