Ugh.

Since I've done the obligatory pre-Super Bowl post, it is only fitting that I do a quick post-Super Bowl entry.

The Bears were terrible yesterday, no doubt. But:

• They had a great season, and even Chicagoans who don't follow sports very often (like me) got into the momentum - and that is a good thing.
• They'll have another strong team next year - and that is a good thing.
  

Richard and I watched the game with Fred & Laura, ate a lot of velveeta and gummy bears, and had a good time. Richard also made a delicious Chicago Bears cake for the game, and there are leftovers - and these are all good things.

So THANK YOU BEARS for providing some good memories this winter.

In other news: it is fucking freezing both outside and here in my office.*

* This is the only bitching about the cold weather I will do on this blog. At least for today.
