Super Bowl

(Cue the Beatles song) “Here comes the sun….”
It was so nice for the first day in possibly the entire time we’ve been here to have sunshine. Good weather is the kind of think you’d never think you’d miss.

None of us were exactly Ken Jennings at the quiz competition. Jen answered a number of the music questions correctly and made good progress on the Sudoku, but the Rubix cube and the question about the 10 major metropolitan centers along the W40 got us. Such is life.

Believe it or not, they did show the Super Bowl here in England. The grandeur of the event, however, was lost entirely. The game started 30 minutes later in England because they do not show the American commercials. So, until half time, we progressively caught up with America. After half time, when you all were enjoying the best commercials of the year, we got to watch a very bad British commentator who felt that every call a ref made had to be wrong. What's worse, he couldn't keep track of the score. No joke, after the second touch down he goes, "And now the Steelers are up by...pause...more than they were before.” And I always thought those positions were competitive.

Following the Super Bowl the week went back into full swing. Although the work load is great, we still find time for social interaction. To see what we do in our spare time, Click Here.

More pictures will be up in the next day or so.
