Go Franco go

New look, you like it?

Super Bowl Sunday is 100% not important once you leave North America. People over here really could care less; can't blame them because the sport is nonexistant here. But, one of the free channels is airing the game live. So, if I stay up until midnight I can see the kick off. I have a way better chance of catching 'Jamie Oliver's Italy', which starts in about 5 minutes. The guy drives a Volkswagen bus from London to the south of Italy. That rules. Who cares if he can cook or not.

I'm going for the Steelers though for the simple reason of nostolgia. When I was a kid I was brought to a store to pick out a winter coat. The coats in front of me had football teams on them. I saw the Bears. Then I saw the Steelers. I was the only kid in town with a Pittsburgh Steelers parka, hat and mittens. Remember that play with Franco Harris? Now that's some football.

I miss you all back home right now. Something as American as Super Bowl Sunday is hard to be away from. I hope everyone has a great time. Talk again soon. xoxo.

why do I get the feeling you've included skinny ties in your wardrobe?

okay, we miss you too. after we watched the super bowl, we watched "stop making sense" projected on the wall at the halfway house... kev and i kind of gave a look like "damn, the only thing missing from this moment is mike." so you are OUR nostalgia.
