History Is Coming : So, You Have Rotel Dip?

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Positive Real Estate Professionals

This Sunday, as most all Americans know, is Superbowl Sunday!!! XLII = 42!Now I know that you may not be a football fan and that is ok in some parts of America. I know that some of you will be watching for the great musical performances that are lined up for this year's festivities. While it is true Paula Abdul will be featured in the pregame festivities, the American Idol judge will not be live. (Insert Joke Here) Instead her new video will be shown! I know, and I feel the same way, we love Paula on live TV, trainwrecks are fun to watch from afar. The actual Live pregame entertainment will be Grammy-Award winning singer Alicia Keys Alicia Keys So for those of you not interested in what those commentators, who are just hilarious and knowledgeable ask any of them, have to say, check out Alicia Keys.

There will of course be the Superbowl commercials that will hopefully have us rolling with laughter when we see them later on YouTube Commercials are for bathroom breaks, food reloading, and drink refreshing! We can't do any of these during the game!

Speaking of refreshments, what will you be having? There are of course the traditional Rotel Dip and chips (try it on pretzels for something different), salsa and chips, and just plain chips. Now that and some cold beer (soda for some of you) or a good mixed drink would make the day perfect. But this is the Superbowl so why not strive for something a little more. Here are some simple suggestions:

  1. Costco/ Sam's/ grocey for those pre-made party platters - meat, cheese, veggie, fruit trays
  2. Boston Market/ Picadilly Cafe/ grocery for those meat entrees and side dishes
  3. Subway for that impossibly enormous party sub (bet Jarrod doesn't eat these)
  4. Chili's/ Applebee's/ Ruby Tuesday's/ local rib joint for those scrumptious ribs or chili

Now right in the middle of the game is another opportunity to:

  • Get More Food
  • Get More Drink
  • Release Either or Both of the Above In Appropriate Facility
  • Watch Excellent and Insightful Commentary
  • Watch Half Time Show (details forthcoming)
  • Fend Off Age By Playing Touch Football In The Front Yard

And Now The Forthcoming Details:

This year the Superbowl halftime show is sponsored by Bridgestone and promises to be a great show. The oragnizers have lined up Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers This iconic rock band has been honored with 17 Grammy nominations and two wins; one in 1981 for Stop Draggin' My Heart Around and the other in 1995 for You Don't Know How It Feels. In 1989, Petty earned yet another Grammy as a member of the Traveling Wilburys for their albumn Traveling Wilburys Volume One. If you choose to watch the halftime show, remember you are seeing an icon of rock music, just don't drip that Rotel on my carpet.

Whether you like the pregame show, the game itself, the halftime show, or the postgame show, I hope you all have, well, a super...Superbowl Sunday! Have fun but be safe!

Hey Rich, I'm not much of a fan either, unless it's the Celtics. They're doing very well this year.

Debbie - My father and uncle are huge Celtics fans! Glad to hear they are having a good season. While I like the American League Red Sox (except that traitor Johnny Damon, even cut his Captain Caveman hair, to flee to the dreaded Yankees), I am not a fan of the DH. I do of course root for my hometown Atlanta Braves and despise the Mets!

Rich, yeah, we don't like those players that go over to the dark side! What is the DH? (remember, I'm a girl....) You're in a great city for all kinds of activities. The Braves are great. We have friends with season tickets (and have used their Falcons seats), I should check on baseball. It's an 8 hour drive to Atlanta but just an hour by plane.

Debbie - <<<smile>>> The DH stands for designated hitter and is only in the American League. It is kind of like a stand in batter for the pitcher. You know the pitcher's are delicate and in the American League they usually have a couple of ringers (think Jason Giambi of the Yankees) who bat in the pitcher's place. In the National League the pitcher has to bat unless he is being taken out of the game altogether. I had season tix to the Braves last year (weekend passes, Saturday & Sunday as the weekdays are too busy) but this year I am going to pass as I ended up selling or giving away about half of them last year! The drive doesn't sound like fun at all but an hour plane ride is a piece of cake! Let me know if you decide to come for a visit!

Rich! Thanks for explaining. I've heard the term but always assumed (crap do I tell you this?), that he was the next batter in line! I didn't realize they were protecting the pitcher! I know, I'm showing my ignorance!LOL!

Hmmm, that would be good! Do you eat cheese? Some vegetarians don't do milk products.

LOL! Rich, You crack me up (One of my daughter's friends thought it was 'adorable' that I had a facebook page!) Glad they liked them.

Debbie - I don't know if adorable is good or bad but I will be the optimist and see it as good. I don't have a facebook page but I've read a lot about them; maybe I should check it out.

Rich, It's good and you should check facebook out  (I even post my listings there) The kids think it's cute that their parents are getting into their technology (and I am so not technical). There are a lot of AR members on facebook.
