It's time once again to join Joyce
for the Hodgepodge. This week we're talking Super Bowl!
1. In
the USA this coming Sunday millions will be watching as the Baltimore
Ravens take on the San Francisco 49's in the Superbowl. What was the
last event you attended that could be described as super?
The Rose Bowl Parade! That was a wonderful experience and the floats were so beautiful! It was a great experience!
2. Share something you're a fan of these days?
My Keurig coffee maker! I'm a big fan of the fresh-brewed coffee every morning!
3.
How do you feel about wings? In case anyone is confused, I'm talking
the edible appetizer kind. What's your preferred seasoning on a
wing-hot, mild, teryiaki, sweet and sour, other? Do you make your own
or is there a favorite place you like to go for wings?
My husband really likes them, and so always wants to go to Buffalo Wild Wings, but I'm not a big fan. I don't like them sweet at all. A mild one, emersed in ranch, is the way I eat them if I have to.
4.
As long as we're talking sports today...have you followed the Lance
Armstrong story? Did you watch his interview with Oprah and if so what
was your reaction to his confession and subsequent remarks?.
I have to admit that I am saddened by the whole thing. That he so adamently denied it before makes it hard to see him as sincere now. I am sorry for his non-profit, Live Strong, becasue I don't want that work to be negatively affected by what he did.
5. What's a question you hate to be asked?
What do you do?
6.
The coaches in this Sunday's big game happen to be real life brothers.
Jim Harbaugh coaches the 49er's and his older brother John Harbaugh
coaches the Baltimore Ravens. Were you and your sibling(s) competitive?
In what way? Are you still? If you're an only child how did you
handle competition growing up?
I am 12 years behind my closest brother. I have three brothers. We were not really close while I was growing up because of the age difference. But now I feel like we've become much closer, especially after my dad died and we went through that together. I have a lot of respect for my brothers and really value their opinions.
7. What's your favorite game involving a ball and when did you last play?
My favorite game to watch is football. I think the last game I personally played was raquetball last summer.
8. Insert your own random thought here.
I am trying to find lots of time to knit this week. A woman from my church had started knitting a blanket for her daughter when she was diagnosed with cancer. She has since passed away and I am trying to finish her project so her daughter can have it. I am grateful for the chance to work on it, but it feels strange taking over her handiwork.
