The Super Bowl is this coming Sunday, February 13, 2022, here in the United States (US). Unlike Christmas 2021, Fauci isn't advising people to turn away the unvaccinated from their house door step, nor is he advising against private gatherings of more than 30 people, so all of the Super Bowl Parties are good to go! And this week, several Democrat Governors in the US started announcing end dates for mask mandates. It won't be long now, before President Biden announces covid-19 has been conquered. Perhaps he will do that on March 1, 2022, when he gives his State of the Union address to Congress, and he can say, "Mission Accomplished".

I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth for this week's T Stands For challenge found here.

Teddy is drinking coffee while he surveys all of our Super Bowl Sunday snacks and desserts first thing in the morning, before the "big game." (I ended up with a game souvenir because of the cake top LIII logo.) We had a mix of snacks, dips, and sodas from Trader Joe's and Stop and Shop. Teddy insisted that I put in shameless plugs for the stores, because he's hoping to get a spokesman contract with them. I told him to keep dreaming. ;-)  (Note: we didn't actually eat all of these snacks. But the contents of the sealed bags will stay fresh until we eat them later in time.)

Teddy said we need to tell everyone what we've been doing for the past week, to reciprocate the friendly stories that everyone else has about their goings on in their T-Day posts. I told Teddy I'm not very good with writing, the way everyone else is. So here is my feeble attempt:

I posted my Super Bowl theme art journal page for my Book of Days. I'm a Jets and Giants fan, and the Patriots are our arch nemesis rivals. But because my teams weren't in the game, the Patriots are the next closest thing to a "local" team, so I was rooting for them.

Before the game, I watched Kiss of Death, which I heard about while visiting CJ & Ink's Second on the Second post. It was a great movie that I enjoyed seeing. If you like classic old movies, another great movie is Laura.

This past week I also made a few Valentine's Day tags.

This coming week (Feb 10) I have the honor of being the guest host at Sunday Postcard Art, and the theme I chose was "The Sun." This week's current them is "Nursery Rhymes." If you like making postcard art size artwork (4" x 6" or 6" x 4") please join us, because all mediums are welcome (as long as it is postcard size). Mandy runs the site and is very nice.

In preparation for the "big game" I threw together this homage to American football art piece. I've been struggling with artist's block lately, but in this case, everything came together for me without much effort. I think the problem is worse when I'm trying to produce something for a challenge theme: then I seem to draw a blank. When I'm making something just for fun, I seem to have a somewhat easier time making it.

I'll be streaming the Super Bowl to my TV via an HDMI cable and this free CBS Sports Super Bowl LIII (53) online link, which I hope is the correct one. They are supposed to start broadcasting on it at 6pm Eastern Standard Time (EST), and the kick off is around 6:30pm EST, about 11 hours from now.

I'll be watching the Super Bowl tonight! Neither of the teams I root for are playing, but I always enjoy watching the game, regardless of who is in it.

Super Bowl Sunday - Week 05 - The Book of Days

The week05 theme for my Book of Days was Super Bowl Sunday.

Super Bowl XLIX is one week from today. I'm not rooting for either team, but I'll be watching the game.

I'll also be reading the sports news leading up to it, to learn about any developments in the Deflate-Gate investigation.

Apparently whoever is behind Deflate-Gate didn't realize sports irregularities are taken very seriously in the United States, like when Roger Clemens was charged with, but later cleared of, perjury to Congress, while men like James Clapper can lie to (commit perjury) Congress with impunity. James Clapper has not, and never will be, charged with perjury, when in his case, he is guilty.

If lawlessness is permissible at the highest levels of the United States Government, why should anyone be surprised when a sports rule gets broken? The precedent has been set that laws (rules) can be broken with the tacit approval of the law writers.
