Diary 325

Sunday, February 7th

As promised, the snow came and it continued to arrive. So we cozied up to watch the Super Bowl – an activity I still feel is a bit alien to me, but enjoyable even so. I’ve been in the US for thirty five years and I still don’t know half the rules of this oh-so-American game.

I noticed that many of the ads were not the usual testosterone-fueled items.  There was even an ad with Bruce Springsteen, focusing on the ‘Center of America’ (the geographical location) and how we need to bring things back together in a fractured country. Interesting. Then there were the tags on the back of the players’ helmets that said things like ‘End Racism’ and “We are all in this together’. Could it be that we are moving towards something much healthier than the past four years of divisive ‘presidency’ have given us?

The second Impeachment begins on Tuesday. The FBI is still rounding up Capitol rioters, and have charged 235 so far.
