Wife went grocery shopping. Big loads. I of course go to empty her car, and make the wise decision to take one bag at a time. They were heavy for the most part. Added a few minutes but no noticeable back strain.

I may go to the casino today to prepare for Festivus dinner tonight. Extra free play due to Bills win.

When I was in college one bar did $1 pitchers of beer when the Iowa Hawkeyes won. I enjoyed many of those pitchers, but in retrospect what a horrible idea to give college students $1 pitchers of beer.

It is better than ten-cent beers.

My first legal beer was $0.35. I think a pitcher was $4-5.

What is funny is if you watch old "Dukes of Hazard" episodes and see when Boss was doing some scam with super pricey beer at the Boar's Nest the $10 or whatever now seems almost normal.

Wow, I have no recollection of my first legal beer. I would guess it was in 1985 when I was in college but I was drinking in bars for years with fake ID's.

Did they win often?

I bought myself a pair of expensive leather gloves with rabbit fur interior for Christmas. I'm thinking it's probably the last pair of gloves I'll ever buy because of my age. They should last me the rest of my life cuz all I'm going to do is use them to drive with and I hardly ever drive. Now that everything's delivered there's no place to go if you don't work. I left the house today for the first time in 15 days to go to the grocery store on Christmas Eve and it was packed. People driving around looking for a parking spot.

They won more than they lost. Actually one year that I was there the Iowa Hawkeyes were the number one football team in the country for one week. They lost that week.

Didn't they go to the Rose Bowl ?

In the 80s, the St. Johns BB team defeated Georgetown and was rated #1 in the country for the first time in a gazillion years. Their next game was against a very ordinary Boston team and never even made the game competitive

They did go to the Rose Bowl in 1985 while I was there. I believe Iowa Hawkeyes have been to five Rose Bowls.
