*this* John W. Hays' take on things and experiences

Wasn’t Easy

with 3 comments

It was a championship game. It’s not supposed to be easy. The 58th NFL Super Bowl game last night between Kansas City and San Francisco was tied after regulation time expired in Las Vegas. Watching the game on television from the comfort of my home, I was exhausted by the end. It doesn’t feel right that one of the teams had to lose.

Congratulations to Kansas City for the overtime win.

Let the crazies grow their conspiracy theories to bizarre new lengths. It won’t make them any harder for me to ignore.

It was a great end of the season for the NFL and it makes it hard to deny the Chiefs have a reasonable claim on the beginnings of a dynasty.

I don’t know what that’s like. I grew up rooting for the Minnesota Vikings, four-time Super Bowl losers. For the record, we lost the first one to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Now I need to adjust my sports spectating to college basketball in preparation for the NCAA March Madness Tournament.

While I’m waiting for that to get here, I’ll sneak in a few NHL games and watch the weather predictions for hints of possible accumulating snowfalls before the vernal equinox arrives.

We do have one bit of guaranteed excitement in store for the coming weekend. A contingent of the Hays clan will be joining us for a weekend up at the lake place in Hayward.

It won’t be easy to come up with viable outdoor winter recreation choices, but it will be a fun-filled few days, that’s for sure. I’m planning a photo contest while we are there and expect to publish some winning shots here on the blog when I can.

We are going to take Asher up with us so our time may be equally split between training him and having fun with family. I expect I’ll find it to be almost as exhausting as watching the Super Bowl game last night.

  1. My heart actually hurt for the guys who lost! So unexpected…they looked stunned…and heartbroken. Ah…the agony of defeat, I know it well. But I also know the thrill of victory…those opposites at work!! I have to say that the photos of snow in your next post are beautiful!! It has not been a normal weather for two months down here either…I was beginning to think they would have to change the name “The Sunshine State!”
    Hope you had fun with company!
