Go Steelers, Go Packers! Go points!
Joanne has 9 for the Packers and 3 for the Steelers. My numbers are 0 for Packers and 1 for Steelers. My side bet is that Joanne has better odds at making her numbers!
Isn't it great that there are folks that add fun to our lives?
The score card is strictly for fun, the house doesn't make a dime because all the money in gets paid out. A friend of mine asked if I wanted to get in on the board. I hadn't done that in a very long time so I figured I'd get a square for me and a square for Joanne.
If it were up to me, there wouldn't be a board available, because I never think of doing them. These fun loving folks in our lives remember to do things like this, take the time to collect the money, pull the numbers, pass the numbers out, then pass the money out after the game.
This makes watching the game fun. Years back I was just a few minutes from winning the 4th quarter final score. Joanne and I were on a bowling league so we had to listen to the very end of the game on the way to the alley. It was hard to drive an listen to a last minute interception returned for a touch down with less than a minute to go. That was the closest I came to winning on a quarter, it was the year the Bucs went to the big show. Don't remember the year exactly.
These friends that do these score cards are the same friends that throw parties or organize gatherings. The are good friends to have because the selflessly strive to make life fun for those around them.
OK, this is my excuse for ducking out of church early of it starts to go long! This afternoon is one of the annual gatherings with one of my friends that goes all out to throw a party for his friends. We can't let him down and miss kick-off. The last time is missed the opening kick was the 2006 Superbowl (I was taking the motorcycle safety riding class that weekend).
Enjoy the game and I hope the commercials live up to the expectations this year!
Take a minute to visit The Goal Farm too!
