I am home, happy and feeling good! Yesterday I was feeling so good that I agreed to go on some errands with my mom, even though I knew that the errands would consist of going to the post office, doing a yoga class with my mom and going grocery shopping. I really am not sure why I said yes... maybe it was a short fluke of the mind that made me do it, or maybe it was the Christmas spirit that made me want to spend time with my Mom, but I did. The thing that surprised me is that yoga was kind of fun. I was the only guy in the yoga class but it was really relaxing and I am contemplating doing it again. The thing that holds me back is the thought of me saying "See ya Chris, I am heading over to my yoga class." Yeah... that is a tad weird.

Anyway, Sunday we also went shopping but that was the whole family, and that was Christmas shopping. We also went to see the movie "What the Bleep" because one of my parent's friends had recommended it. Well... it was basically an educational film about how the brain works... no joke. There was no plot, and only a whole bunch of specialist describing stuff about the brain. So if you think about going to see that... don't. Oh god don't.

After that we went to Table Rock Pub and Grill to eat, and the Packer's game was on most of the TVs. Unfortunately they lost a very very very close game to Jacksonville (28-25). Then Minnesota barely squeaked out a win when Detroit messed up their extra point attempt to leave the score at 28-27. That leaves the Green Bay and Minnesota tied up with 8-6 records. On Friday, they are going to play each other with Green Bay trying to win the division (they have already clinched a spot in the playoffs but now they are going for home field advantage) and Minnesota is trying to get into the playoffs.

Last night I witnessed a football game that was truly amazing. New England, with a 12-1 record, was playing Miami, with a 2-11 record. I didn't even watch most of the game because I figured that pitting NE (team tied for the highest record in the NFL) against the team that is tied for the lowest record would be a blow out. My dad came home late and told me that the game was going down to the wire and to come down and watch it with him. When we turned the TV on, Miami had just scored a touchdown to make the score 28-23. They needed a touchdown, and they got it when they sacked Tom Brady (NE's Quarterback) and he threw it as he was going down. Miami took that possession and made a touchdown out of it, and then proceeded to intercept Tom Brady again to seal up the game. I was amazed. Miami has no playoff hopes, but they stirred up the playoff picture by toppling the team that has only been defeated three times in the past two years. Make that four. Good job Miami.

Well I guess it is time to get going on my Christmas gifts.
