Monday Tidbits

* First off, I had a great weekend. It's been a while since I have had a weekend this good, despite the weather.

* Yesterday Diane and I ended up making it to the movie we missed Saturday Night, when we went and seen I am Legend with Will Smith. It's a good movie, but it was a little hard to follow at first, but like I said it was a good movie.

* Super Bowl XXXXII is set. It will be the undefeated New England Patriots trying to do what has never been done in the NFL before and finish the season with a 19-0 record. The Miami Dolphins in 1972 were 17-0, but that was before the NFL went to 16 game seasons as opposed to the old 14 game seasons. The Patriots will attempt to make history against the New York Giants, a team that they have already beaten 20-10 earlier this season.

* Heard an interesting tidbit this morning on the Eric and Kevin Show. Thye play a game called "Are you smarter than Eric" which is a series of head to head trivia questions delivered by a show guest named Ernie. Today there was a question about the Iran Hostage Situation years ago. Ernie asked a question like where were the hostages housed or something along those lines. Contest was over and Eric won, and one of those 52 Hostages from the State Department called and said Ernie was incorrect with his question and answer.
Funny thing is, the guy claimed to be Ernie's brother, so Kevin and Eric didn't know how respond not knowing if it was a prank. Well, turns out Ernie calls back in and it was his brother, he still works for the State Department and he was one of the 52 American Hostages. They talked a little about what it was like for Ernie and his family to go through what they did knowing his brother was a Hostage. Pretty interesting little tidbit and conversation.

* Today is Martin Luther King day and is a holiday for many, but not me.

* I did have a nice three day weekend even though my computer crashed last week.
