Monday afternoon (that's Sunday evening for folks in the Northeast part of the states) found the boys opting for a bit of bowling in downtown Wellington. Imagine Marc's elated surprise when he noticed 40 inch flat screen tv's hoisted above each bowling alley. Better yet? Each screen carried live images of the Super Bowl! Awesome. Drake and Alden bowled with friends while Marc sat back at the scorer's table offering timely sage advice for his novice sons while keeping a focused eye on the game! (someone had to as the Patriots clearly were not) Better still, as the three boys carry the family bladder together ...all three trudged off to the toilets and...we kid you not, hoisted just directly above each individual urinal in the men's room were flat screen tv's depicting the Super Bowl. Given the play of the Patriots, flushing seemed so "apro pos". Unlike the Pats' coach who tried to run off the field with one second remaining, I told my boys, "stay for the last few shakes."

What a terrific game--and result, of course.
I wonder if Belichick could use a video tape of that final second.
Lovely image, Marc, lovely.
Lovely image, Marc, lovely.
I'm sorry Rachel. Some metaphors are just there for the taking. I'll try to practice a little more restraint.

Mikey,
I'm sure his staff of filming voyers have it on tape. You know what they say about cheaters? A winner NEVER CHEATS and a cheater never wins-just misses the last second or few shakes. Oops, sorry Rachel.
Hi Marc-- I must say your metaphorical commentary on the "big game" rivalled anything I saw on Fox or ESPN.
The only thing worse than that game would have to be the movie you loaned me. What was it called? Oh yeah, "Kelly's Heroes". I'd rank it right up there with other great classics like "Cabin Boy". Not even an orangutang (sp?) could have saved that film. Absolute crap. Belongs in a bowling alley loo.
