That is what I look forward to the most in the future. Every year these events will take place, but the players will change and memories will be made. This year's Super Bowl suddenly became interesting in the second half, when the lights went out in the Superdome and San Francisco took advantage of the break to stage a late comeback. This past Saturday, the Slam Dunk Competition was held in Houston, and my favorite was Jeremy Evans dunking over a painting he made himself of himself dunking over the painting. He came in second and autographed the painting and will auction it off for charity. Pretty cool.
Even though I think the concept of Lent is strange, this year I've decided to give up something and take something else up. So far, so good, though it's been tough. What I am doing is something I should have done a long, long time ago. Although no one reads this anyway, maybe I will mention what I've done after Easter.
I've started on The Grapes of Wrath and gotten a bit in, but this book is harder than I thought it would be. Steinbeck depicts dialogue using the actual way the common man pronounced words, which is tough to understand for some reason. I haven't really had problems with works that use this method in the past, so I don't know why I am having such a difficult time here. I will keep you posted.
