Me? I not going to a movie and I will most likely watch some of the Superbowl but, like in days of yore when some claimed to purchase Playboy Magazine so they could read just the interviews and articles, I will lay claim to the rationalization of watching the Superbowl to view only the commercials.
That written, it should not be understand that I do not suffer from my own sports oriented syndrome, primarily centered around hockey. That is why, on Friday past, I drove the 120 mile round trip to Vermont via a slow 2 mile ferry ride across Lake Champlain in order to attend a hockey game at The Gut (Gutterson Fieldhouse) on the campus of the Universitas Viridis Montis, aka: University of the Green Mountains, more commonly known as UVM.
I am not a UVM hockey fan. Rather, I and my hockey grandson Hugo are University of Notre Dame hockey fans and ND was UVM rival on Friday and Saturday night. I am delighted to report that ND swept both games. Wins which kept them in the top 10 NCAA Division 1 hockey rankings - go Irish.
Hugo and his dad, The Cinemascapist, really enjoyed the game. Especially Hugo who has played at the Gut and will be attending a very elite hockey camp - hundreds apply, only 30 accepted - at UND this coming May - go Hugo.
