The Super Bowl is about to start. No one super cares who’s playing. It’s just a great excuse to have a party and make some terrific food. It’s almost a semi-holiday. My family is having a great time, too. Ashley was able to join us at the cape this year and hubby made all the great game food. Settled in with a nice Chardonnay, I’m ready for the kick-off.
Then the Newtown Children’s Choir sang. That’s where I lost the meaning of the game, the food, the holiday-like feel to the day. Looking at the faces of those children singing brought it home that the future of our country lies with them. There is nothing more important than our young. The focus in this country has to shift to providing for them, educating them, and bringing them up to be healthy adults to take over where we leave off.
I look at the millions spent to field these teams and put this game on today. Can you imagine what that amount of money would do to take care of our children? On the other hand we have to keep it in perspective. The sports and entertainment industries provide jobs for a lot of parents to take care of their children. Still…..it’s an awful lot of money…
And so, as another Super Bowl Sunday goes by, Alicia and Beyonce rocked, the lights went out, the lights came back on, the niners almost pulled it out, now it’s time for bed, and..I have written.
