Since the birth of my son, I’ve become a pretty big football fan. At first it was just the inevitability of being outnumbered by the boys 2:1, but now I am a genuine fan. And I’ve been looking forward to the Superbowl all year long, even though my thinking on it was that it was going to be the Patriots vs. whoever, in a game with no suspense. I watched the Ravens almost beat the Patriots, the Eagles almost beat the Patriots, and the yes, the Giants almost beat the Patriots (on December 30th.) I kept telling my husband, the Suberbowl is not going to have any suspense this year. He kept trying to tell me that in football, it’s any given team, on any given Sunday.

Boy, was he right.

Eli Manning, you are my new hero. Thank you for showing us that anything is possible.

Now back to your regularly scheduled nursing blog.
