don't mention it.

So, hi. What do you want to talk about? We could talk about how the Patriots had the perfect regular season and then lost it all in the Super Bowl. We could, really. But why would we want to? After the game ended, we promptly turned to a channel that had nothing to do with football and tried not to mention it for the rest of the evening. I feel like most of Boston did the same thing. If anyone tried to bring the game up, the other person would say, "can we please not talk about this??" So we didn't. And we're still not. And really, what's to talk about? We lost and it's sad, horrible, and depressing, but we are Boston. These are the things we go through. The things that make us stronger as a city and community. It almost wouldn't be right if we had won. I mean, God forbid we win the World Series AND Super Bowl. So, let's just not talk about it.

Instead, let's talk about how I played Wii for my first time last night. And how my arms seriously hurt today. And how pathetic and sad that is. After my first fitness test, they told me I was 59 years old. When I did it a second time, I managed to get down to 39. Seriously sad. However, I still argue that your success in bowling should not have anything to do with determining your age. And just because I'm not strong enough to hit 10 home runs, doesn't mean I'm out of shape (I am). This has made me realize how badly I need to get in shape. Bowling anyone? I feel like Wii is one of the few things that would actually get my lazy butt into shape. Which is also quite sad.

This is just a sad post in general. But there are many, many things that are making me happy right now. Sports just aren't one of them.
