Today Is…

Today is Super Bowl Sunday. 

It also is the 100th birthday of the late President Ronald Reagan

And the 94th birthday of Zsa Zsa Gabor

Who isn’t dead yet, but is in poor health following the recent amputation of a leg. 

Her husband, Prince Frederic Von Anhalt, is having a pretty  tough time himself – he collapsed and was admitted  when Gabor was rushed back to the hospital last Tuesday, and had to be treated back in December after mistaking Zsa Zsa’s fingernail glue for eye drops.

In spite of weather conditions that have had sports commentators complaining all week – and making fun of Dallas for not planning and being prepared for a once-a-century weather event, Super Bowl XLV seems to be in better health than the above-mentioned celebrities.

It won’t happen, but I think that Dallas should open the top of the stadium for the game.  After all, the competitors, Pittsburg and Green Bay are both cold weather teams, and  they have played some of their best (and some of the NFL’s most historic) games in near-blizzard conditions. 

Super Bowl XLV will be cheerleader-less for the first time in the competition's 45- year history because the Steelers and the Packers are among only six NFL franchises that do not have them.

I’m tempted to predict that the Steelers will win today’s contest by about a touchdown,  (I can always come back and edit this out if I’m wrong.) but I think I’ll just say good luck to both and may the better team win.
