Big game tonight around these parts ... the Packers, pride and joy of many Wisconsinites, versus the hated Vikings. It's funny though, there is a lot of cross pollination around here in southern Wisconsin. Folks move out of the city (Chicago) and to the country (here), same for people leaving Minnesota to go to the city (Milwaukee). Anyway, while the local population is the majority Packers fans, there are a number of Bears fans and a good share of Vikings fans too. All of which to say, some guys from church are getting together to watch the big game tonight. It'll be a good one with MANY story lines (Favre v. his old team, first place in the NFC North v. second place, Aaron Rodgers continuing to get out of the shadow of the man whose job he took, etc, etc). Good times, and hopefully a good game. I'm going to predict a 27 - 13 score in favor of the Vikings! Check back to this space for an assessment of my prediction tomorrow (especially if I'm right!).
We had a nice weekend. Spent a couple of nights with Laura and Gow watching season 7 of 24. We have (if I remember correctly) 9 episodes left. The show is very interesting, especially having only begun to watch relatively late (season 6) in the life cycle of the program. The writers create a pretty good plotline that keep you on the edge of your seat, involved over 24 episodes, always coming back. But at the same time, there is some pretty bad acting (ol' stone face, Keifer Sutherland), and lame dialog. Very interesting. There was actually one scene that we watched on Saturday night that was supposed to be all dramatic ... Jack's mentor/friend had died, and he was "overcome with grief", and it made me laugh out loud at Sutherland's lame facial expressions! Ha, at least it's entertaining.
Sunday was full. In the morning we had brunch with my cousin who was coming through town, then all afternoon/evening was filled with church related activities. We were meeting for the first time in the new building, so that meant that there was extra setup required, extra practice for worship team, then we also had community group before church, and a fellowship time afterwards. Phew!
This morning the kids had dentist appointments (haven't heard anything from Cyndie regarind how those went).
