Super Bowl Commericals
There'll be a hot time this Sunday - in Arlington, Texas!
For those of us not able to get Super Bowl tickets we'll be glued to the TV at 6:30PM watch the Packer beat the Steelers! Go Pack Go!
But is that why you watch? Reaserchers say that 50% of people that watch the Super Bowl just want to see the commercials! And some years, the commericals are more interesting than the game.

If you like to cross-country ski, the weather lately has been cooperating and many trails have been open and folks have been getting out and enjoying the white winter scene.
