Not so fast Garcia!

Not so fast Garcia!.... that's a line from an old Soules family joke...but used here to refer to the Feb. 4 Super Bowl Night. Guess I won't be free to boogie after all. Looks like Sweetside will be having a fete that evening even tho the Pats won't be on the screen. Oh well, people, food, fun... who cares whose playing :-)

Free Night Feb 4

Sadness...for the Pats. The large 18 pt. lead was lost by the half and in the end, the game was lost by 4 pts.

Well, guess that leaves me free to boogie on Feb 4. Don't imagine I will be watching the Bears play the Colts.

The Pond is Filling Up

The Democratic Party Pond is filling up. While I reveled in Barack's announcement last week, I fairly cringed with Hilary's this weekend. I have never bee n a Hilary fan and I fear that if both she and Barack seek the nomination they will be splitting votes and will make a clear choice much less likely. Could even open the door for some dark horse Dem and that in turn could leave the door open more widely for a Republican president in '08. But, what do I know? A political expert I am definitely not. Bottom line -- I just plain don't want to see her run; don't want to listen to her or to reports about her (or Bill) and don't want any distractions from Obama, a candidate that (so far as I can see to date) is one amazing guy. Someone the world MIGHT actually listen to! Well, we'll wait to see what Barack has to say "officially" on Feb 10. In the meantime, I'll follow the politics from my "arm chair" and keep surfing the real estate listings in Costa Rica, just incase :-)

In other areas:

Will the Patriots win tonight? I seldom watch football but the Pats are in the playoffs... so... like any good Massachusian, I tuned in last week, will tonight.. and we'll see about the Super Bowl.

As for the house, A. is closing in on the cellar project and Ben is installing cement board in our main bathroom so it can be tiled (floors and 43" high on the walls). I have been doing a lot of experimentation with art stuff but you'll have to click on the Terra Nova Design blog if you want to see pics of that part of my life.
