| | MIL Bowl |
|
| | Now that the lingerie bowl was canceled, what's a family to do for Super Bowl fun?
I know I will be engaging in the first Annual In-Law Bowl.
Now don't get me wrong, in the immortal words of Fred Flintstone, "I love my mother in-law, I love my mother in-law." And I do! It's just I have a feeling we're going to be playing a game of our own on Sunday when they come down from up north for a visit.
For example, she will pretend to want to watch the game, and I'll pretend that I don't care all that much. I'll feign surprise when my children know what a point spread is, and that it is seven for this game. She in return will ignore the squares on the wall written in crayon.
I'll fumble when I suggest that salsa counts as a vegetable, but she'll lose some yards when I catch her watching the commercials with interest.
At half time, I'll get extra points if I do not say out loud that I hope Bruce Springsteen has a wardrobe malfunction. She scores if she does not admit that she prefers marching bands for the half-time entertainment.
And just when I think the game is about even, my sisters in-law will no doubt call an audible, and my MIL is reading this right now. Game-changer.
She'll say, "This may be the 43rd Super Bowl, but I wasn't born yesterday."
Game. Set. Match. She wins.

 | Wonderful, as usual! Everybody has a script...We'll host a group of rowdy teen boys, as usual, who will eat and yell. I will feed them and try to distract them from the overtly sexual commercials. I will fail. They will laugh at me. And next year we'll do it all over again.

Posted by hannah, 01/31/09, 02:31am | | So wish I were there to watchit with all of you! With the time difference here you have to stay up until the wee hours to catch it - although many are opting for sleep deprivation rather than miss it.
Assignment is on. Flight is booked. So looking forward to see you all in person next month.

Posted by Anonymous, 05/28/13, 08:24am | | According to Reuters, a study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research in 2011 found that "The more aggressively a bank lobbied before the financial crisis, the worse its loans performed during the economic downturn -- and the more bailout dollars it received". Now, despite its former status as the basket case of Wall Street, Citigroup and its hired guns are welcome on Capitol Hill, weighing in on and even drafting bills -- like one the House committee signed off on earlier this month, exempting several classes of derivatives from a rule intended to prevent government insurance from backstopping risky trades.I won't dispute for one second the problems of a system that demands immense amount of fund-raisers by its legislators," said Representative Jim Himes, a third-term Democrat of Connecticut, who supported the recent industry-backed bills and leads the party's fund-raising efforts in the House. A member of the Financial Services Committee and a former banker at Goldman Sachs, he is one of the top recipients of Wall Street donations.

Posted by Anonymous, 05/28/13, 11:48am | | While visiting family and friends in Amman, Jordan last week after being away for over two years, I was constantly being asked about my observations on Amman, and whether it had changed since I was last there in October 2010.During the first couple of days, I would usually respond saying I noticed more traffic, and new construction here and there. A few days into my visit, things got clearer (I'm blaming the jetlag for my delayed observation). I noticed a change, a big one. Somehow, politically-divided Ammanites were united on one issue: Syrians.Last time I visited Jordan, the annoying term the "Arab Spring" was not even coined. So, fast forward two years, I would have expected to see change along these lines, but what I saw instead was not youth marching in the streets asking for reform (to the dismay of many D.C. think tanks), but rather Jordanian citizens who are increasingly becoming concerned about the influx of refugees from their war-ravaged next door neighbor.Citigroup was the megabank that received the most taxpayer assistance during the financial crisis, a fact perhaps related to the very same lobbying practices now being used to rein in regulation christian louboutin daffodile
