My first weekend without sports

Granted, the weekend after the superbowl is often sports free for many people, but for me, still largely home bound by my recent surgery (unless Allyson wants to go out), I did feel its absence.  So I prepared lectures, watched my new BluRay of Apollo 13, and rediscovered the reason I bought it...  the $15 NFL Shop coupon I was saving to buy Steelers gear this week.  Not that I still won't, but conference championship shirts tend to get worn less proudly.  Perhaps they shouldn't be worn less proudly.  Seriously - all week 1 has done is raised questions and provided few answers if any at all.

Still ruminating on the merging of sports and politics.  It's hard sometimes to tell which idiocies are due to the incivility of politics that exists today, and which are genuinely about wanting one team to win over another.  There's some of both going on.

Blessings to all of you on a good, productive, and healthy week.  And please, feel free to respond with questions of your own - I'm up for debate and/or discussion!

I'm passionate about educating everyone about weather and the climate. (P.S. Climate change is not a belief, but a documentable scientific phenomenon) Plus, I'm an avid sports fan, who has sworn off sports for the year. That ought to be interesting...
