1. For reasons I have confided in a few people, but prefer to keep to myself, I don't watch football games.I I keep up with things a bit, enough so that I half way know what people are talking about if I'm in the company of football conversations, but I don't watch games.
I'm not on a mission.
I'm not sitting on a high horse.
Once a year, I enjoy going with Ed (and this year Buff and Darren joined us) to the Spokane Tribal Casino and making a single wager on the Super Bowl.
In memory of and as a tribute to Don Knott, this year I wagered on his favorite team, the Philadelphia Eagles. (So did the other guys.)
Lo and behold, the Eagles won and so I have some cash waiting for me at the casino!
2. We had a low key Valentine's family dinner tonight. After crackers and different dips for an appetizer, we enjoyed a dinner consisting of Carol's beef stroganoff, Christy's transformation of a green bean salad recipe into a delicious hot dish, and the green salad with dressing that Debbie and I teamed up to make. We each had a single piece of Valentine's chocolate at our place at the table and the dinner places had a Valentine's Day theme.
We finished dinner with an apple and philo dough piece of pie Carol made using apple pie filling she made from scratch.
Dinner conversation roamed all over the place and was both cheerful and, at times, serious.
I had a lot of fun listening to Debbie tell us about an instruction video she found online explaining the finer points of making sock monkeys. Debbie is making several of them these days.
3. I finished reading Michael Connelly's book, Resurrection Walk, featuring both Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller. I enjoy how, in the three Lincoln Lawyer books I've either now read or seen as a movie, Connelley turns Mickey Haller's attention inward, portrays Haller looking over the case we've just witnessed him trying to win in court and becoming introspective, pondering his work as a defense attorney, examining the moral murkiness of his work and the justice system, and contemplating what kind of future he'll create for himself now that the case he's been dedicated to is over.
