The last Sunday of the two week, three weekend holidays of 2008. Let me tell you, I'm glad it's over. It's not that I hate the holidays; far from it. I just get tired of them after a while. Besides, we can't get through winter without getting through the holidays, can we?
I think I've recovered finally from my New Year's Day celebrating. Since I didn't really drink on the Eve, due to my working that night, I decided to party out on the Day. I didn't start getting over that until today.
I watched the Vikings-Eagles game today. Bwahahaha! My loathing for the Vikings is long and legendary, matched only by my loathing for the Cubs. Anytime either one of those teams lose it makes my day. For example, in 1998-99, when the Queens had that 15-1 season, they were the team of destiny to win it all, and they lost the NFC Championship Game to the Atlanta Falcons on a field goal in OT, I was cheering as though I was born in the ATL. Likewise, the Steve Bartman Game and the aftermath was more proof of the Cubs' Loser Status, while for me, watching them melt down was unmitigated joy. So watching the Vikings lose, badly, to an Eagles team that snuck its way into the playoffs was sweet.
(Before you start embarrassing yourselves, Cubs and Queens fans, no, neither the Pack nor the Brewers went very far this year [actually, the Brew Crew won more games in the postseason than the Cubs] but at least the Brewers have been to the Series in our lifetimes, plus the Milwaukee Braves actually won the Series against the Yanks in '57. As for the Packers, they have the second most Hall of Famers, the most World Championships, a venue that is the very soul of pro football, and loyal fans from around the globe. Suck it.)
