super bowl party

went to Jon & Cathy's warm new home to watch the super bowl tonight. great fun had by all. must have been 20 people there at various times. i suspect Elle was as popular among a certain demographic as the game itself. excellent game, all the way around. the Pats make winning look like a character trait. dug the classy approach to the national anthem, and was surprised by how much i enjoyed the halftime show.



loved the mustang commercial with the frozen driver. Colin couldn't figure out why the guy wouldn't have pushed the button to bring the top up. he was also concerned that the spring thaw would result in him melting into a puddle in the driver's seat. hard to fault his logic on either score. the ameriquest mortgage ads with the don't judge too quickly tagline were brilliant as well. and who doesn't love chimpanzees in the workplace?

Great game! My personal favorite commercial was the soldiers returning home recieving applause as they walked through the airport terminal...

Don

now that you mention it, i did love that airport one, too. almost gave me chills, except for the detachment that came from wondering what someone might be trying to use that emotion to sell. slightly disappointed that it took a beer company to think of it, or at least to do what it took to air it. would have felt better if the nfl had sponsored it.

and yes, Don, we miss you guys too. the hardison's aren't football fans, huh?

Patriots all the way. love Tom Brady. go wolverines!

And Don, re: the picture. amazed it took people long enough to call me out on that one. seems a little self-absorbed having a picture up at all, and no way i wanted to put a bad one up, so i thought maybe if i took the artistic approach people might think i was only half self-absorbed, which would only be half true :)
