Early Morning Football

Nate programmed the VCR to record the SuperBowl, and then this morning we got up at 6 am to watch it. The game was moving along quickly with no commercials, timeouts, or halftime -- very nice. Then, things started to get really good. The Cardinals had just gotten a safety and were getting the ball back, the score was 20-16 for the Steelers with 2:58 left on the clock. Then, a note appears on the TV screen ............the converter box is going to turn off in 60 seconds. What?! I forgot that it turns off on its own after a few hours if you don't mess with it. And Nate laughed!! We then saw an 8 minute recap of the game online. Why did we watch an hour and a half when we could have gotten it all in 8 minutes? Oh well, it was fun, and I think the ruined ending made it even better.

Now, time to get the day going. There is supposed to be some kind of groundhog exhibit today at the science museum. I think we'll check it out. Happy Groundhog's Day!

We didn't even bother taping it - but if we had the same thing would have happened. I'll have to remember that for the future. Got up at 6? WOW!
