Miami Bound--Me and Da Bears!
“I was a varsity tackle and a helluva block
When I played my guitars I made the canyons rock…”
--Meatloaf from "All Revved Up With No Where To Go" from the LP, Bat Out Of Hell.
When asked where are you watching the Super Bowl, before Thursday, I would have quickly and gladly said, “with Keith.” Keith is among my closest of friends and my former college roommate.
His daughters and his wife enjoy the game, although privately they admit to inviting me over because I am entertaining on those close games—yelling, spazzing, crying, cussing, and all.
This is not to be smug.
This is not to be rude.
This is not to be evasive.
“Eric Sweetwood, (substituted from Preston Weatherbee) YOU ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!”
Jeff (good friend, brother-in-law, and devoted Colts fan), arranged tickets for us.
I cannot believe it—I GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL (expletives deleted).
Dreams come true.
How cool is this. Jeff came through and called last week to let me know. We have accommodations, we have tickets, and we have everything we need. I cannot believe this either—this is my present from Jeff. Unreal—nothing I can get him will equal this, but I am working on a Fantastic Four #1 (he is a fan of the FF) so if anyone knows of one—email me.
Now if the Bears win, another dream can come through—but for Jeff’s sake and kindness, I hope Peyton gets his ring.
The Colts are the AFC team I follow and Jeff is a Bears fan as well; this way no one really loses.
Watch for me on TV.
The picture above is with Anna, a student and committed PACKER fan—her punishment for betting me the Bears would not make the Super Bowl was to wear one of my Bear jerseys. She’s a good sport and did so. I even made her say “da Bears” if the rest of the class wanted to use notes on a test—yes, I am cruel.
Enjoy the game—I will as well.

Frickin'... FRACKIN'.... Mmph-maaapbbblltttttt!!!!
Holy schnockers! You're one lucky son-of-a-beeotch. I cannot BELIEVE that you are going to Miami! You dog, you!
All I gotta say is: "You'd better root for the Bears while you're there for those of us who will be watching the game on HDTV at home."
ROCK ON, brother. And sorry you'll miss our gig at NV Ultra Lounge this Saturday night. But, uh... I'm guessing it's totally worth it.
