Today has to be one of the most miserable days of the year, at least as far as the weather is concern. It has been raining here nonstop in the Gainesville area with no relief in sight...plus, as the day has worn on, the temperature has plummeted. Yuck! And on this Sunday afternoon with me off from work, it might have been a good time to watch some football on TV...except that the only game is the meaningless National Football League Pro Bowl, their version of the all-star game. Of course, no one wants to get injured in these contests, so the defense plays super-light, everyone who gets the ball races to the sideline, and the officials are continually quick-whistling plays over before tackles can be made. So how is this a real game?...it's a joke, that's what it is. I was watching it for a while but finally gave up. Besides, if your team's star player gets injured today and it affects your season next year...well, better for him to skip this game in the first place, I say. I read that players on today's winning side will received $67,000 and the losers $39,000, while the game's MVP is to win a new car. Well, that's good for them, I suppose, although it does nothing to whet my interest in this nonsense...
Days like this were meant to be spent at work...that is, if your job is indoors. On the other hand, there's nothing like this sort of weather (and lousy television) to put on some hot coffee or chocolate and grab a good book to read...
