If IU wins. it could be on a roll.

That's good.

I'm picking the Chiefs and the 49ers to play in the Super Bowl.

I had a tough day yesterday.

I'm feeling better today, though.

Peapod

The Peapod guy came early yesterday, and I had to let him in.

It worked out.

That's good.

The NFL playoffs are underway, and the Patriots are already out.

I'm glad.
