A Week into 2008
Posted By Kathleen David on January 7, 2008
Feel any different?
Yep, it was a week ago that we were on the last ticks of 2007 and getting ready for 2008. So how did the first week go for you? Any resolutions already out the window yet? Any resolutions still in force that you are surprised that they stuck around a week and wonder how far you can take it?
Speaking of sticking around to see how far they can take it, how about those Giants? Not how I expected the game to go but it was nice to see Eli throw the football to his own team. Sorry Bucs fans but now you get to sit on the bench with the Jets fans who didn’t even make it to the playoffs. And the Chargers took on the Titans and won. I think I would have gone for the Chargers if I had known exactly how many players were out for the Titans. Not a pretty sight, but they held their own for most of the game.
So next week is the next round of win or go home (sounds like a game show). Here is how the rest of the playoffs and the Superbowl is going to go. It is going to be Green Bay and the Pats in the AFC playoff with the Pats going to the Superbowl. For the NFC I think that the Colts and the Cowboys are going to go head to head with the Cowboys going to the Superbowl. Pats win Superbowl and a lot of armchair quarterbacks say the only reason they did this well this season is that they cheated. Cowboys vs. the Patriots will give the network the UMPH they need to sell the rest of the ad time.
I have done some of the stuff I am hoping to do this year. Some other things have fallen by the wayside and need to be picked up and done this week. Then there is the BIG PROJECT. Yep, it is that time of year. I have a BIG PROJECT I need to get done for Farpoint. Today I need to go further a field for fabric since I have had carp luck around here. But first those dolls I keep talking about. I feel bad about having them in my possession when they should be with their owns. The journals are the hard part for me to complete as strange as that sound.
Caroline informed us that she got up last night but noticed that it was still dark outside and so she went back to bed and there was a “4” on the clock. Which means that she got up at 4 AM and figured out that it was too early to get up. She is starting to sort out digital time. I need to get a book so she can learn analogue time. I remember when digital watches first came on the scene. I was so proud of my red digital read-out watch.
I am grateful that my parents got me a digital watch early in the era of digital watched.
Kath,
Know, I expect better from you! You know that it will be Boys/Pack in the championship and Colts/Pats! Now, personally, it will I think the Boys will again beat the Packers, and face Indy in the super bowl. That’s my prediction, as much as it flies in the face of reason… 😉

One of my nephews taught me how to tell time when I was about five years old. I remember because I was supposed to start school later that year. Of course he taught me analogue time and no I didn’t get it right for some time.
Now, for something completely off topic. As you know, I used to post on Peter’s blog, but I stopped because we were always at odds. It’s kind of amazing that for someone who’s writing I love so much, we don’t much agree on a darn thing anywhere else. Instead, I’ve been hanging around Chuck Dixon’s board, mainly because we seem to be more sympatico.
Anyway, one of the last “debates” we had while I still posted on Peter’s blog was over “boycotts”. Peter was against them, I was for them, but thought they should be “weapons of last resort”.
So I’m trying to understand how it is that Peter can support the WGA strike and not be considered a hypocrite. Especially when you consider what the WGA is willing to do to enforce it’s rules if someone doesn’t comply.
I am hoping for an upset on Sunday against the Cowboys, the Giants have actually looked good the last couple of weeks. They looked GREAT against the Pats, I was shocked.
And a big congratulations to Goose Gossage, for finally making it into the Baseball Hall of Fame! He was one of baseball’s first relief pitchers, and he was a great one!
Feels good to be talking about something other than steroids when mentioning baseball. I hope they can clean up their act, so many records are tainted, and we’ll never know how many players were/are doing steroids and other illegal substances until they get some real testing implemented.
