the ads, the halftime show and the food

Four years ago we had a group over to watch the Super Bowl. The Pats and the Giants were playing. Fast forward to last night and we had a group of friends over to watch the Super Bowl. The Pats and the Giants were playing, again. Smaller group last night, but still a good time and we had enough food to feed four times the number of folks.

We laughed at the ads. Who can resist a sling shot baby grabbing a bag of Doritos, or even Matthew Broderick revisiting his Ferris Bueller character for Honda. Then there was the Clint Eastwood commercial which was delivered with the style, grace and power that only a man like Clint can provide. Madonna moves and looks like she is no where near her 50's and she can still entertain with the best of them. She's stood the test of time and finished up with "Like a Prayer" the song that became an anthem after it was such a 'controversy.' Wonder if Lady Gaga will be still on her game at that age.

Of course, I was happy the game was a game. It wasn't over until the clock expired and the final buzzer sounded.  Nothing worse than a Super Bowl that is a blow out.

And so, with that behind us, our week begins. Lots and lots of stuff going on this week. Happy Monday!
