Friday Morning 1/17

Made it through another week. I did get good news from my Doctor on Wednesday, after checking me out, he said he wanted to see me in a year. At 81, that kid of optimism is good.

Snow in Ohio this morning, a thrill every morning when I open the blinds in our front window, never know what to expect. Spring is a long way off, though, I can see that. In an attempt to get warm yesterday, I watched tennis from Australia. 100  plus down there. Didn't work though. I do not see how anyone can play tennis in heat like that, has to be dangerous for them.

What is the "State of the World" this Friday morning. Well, the state of Ohio is going to get sued because they did not execute a man, effectively, it took them almost 30 minutes to finish the job. With all the chemicals in the world today, all those pills, all the technology, and it takes them that long to execute a man. I guess I can see their point. The man in question raped and killed a woman, as I recall, found guilty, and it took them too long to execute them. Something ironic there.

The Super Bowl, I do have to wonder, who and why, with all the heated venues around the country, why, New Jersey, predicted to be in the 20's or worse. That is the way football should be played, I wonder if it is grass, I doubt it. Going to pump a lot of money in to the New York area.

New York/New Jersey - I wonder which Governor is going to speak the loudest, and it is in New Jersey, how and why does New York even enter the picture?

New York/New Jersey will host the first cold-weather Super Bowl in an open-air stadium when Super Bowl XLVIII is played at MetLife Stadium on February 2, 2014
