One more midnight Super Bowl + 4 boxes

On Monday 8 Feb 2010 I can cancel my subscription to Kabel Deutschland since the only reason that I have cable TV is to be able to watch American Football (as if there is any other kind...) on ESPN America. The programming is actually pretty good since they show the live feeds of the games starting at 19:00 Sunday evening, plus they replay the later games on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Great for me although Jenn, Sterling and Kimeko do not seem to enjoy it as much as me. I will say that I am a bit tired of seeing the Patriots and Tom Brady's big chin although this year was better since the Pats were not shown every other week like during the past few "dynasty", video cheating, tuck rule (It was a FUMBLE!!) years.


The big event is the Super Bowl of course.

Sterling and Kimeko can skip school the next day if they watch the whole game...No napping. If they fall asleep, then they must go to school. Rules are rules. They both have watched the game for the past 2 years and the Giants win over Tom's undefeated chin was particularly thrilling 2 years ago. Jenn never watches the game, preferring to sleep or whatever. 


I have a few German friends who enjoy football (although they root for questionable teams like the Titans, Bengal and Chargers) and we will watch the big game together for the last time this year. The game starts at midnight and we will have a typical big game meal of beer, chips, nachos, and hamburgers from the grill at halftime while the Who have heart attacks at midfield. Burgers at 2am...what could be better? 


Update on getting rid of stuff:
Paul's Book & DVD club has been wildly successful and I think that this week will be the last. In its place I will be starting up a sort of shoppe where we are free to give away all sorts of junk and hopefully people will provide generous donations. So far we have moved a squash racket, a table and a pair of ladies ice skates. We have big plans for getting rid of furniture and stuff...but I will save that for another time.
I cleaned out an area in the basement where we have started placing packed boxes. So far there are 4!!

135 days left in Germany and already 4 boxes packed. We are in amazing shape.
