Dad's Home, Creepy Hospital Rooms, The Patriots Are Going to the Super Bowl

Well It's been busy around here...Dad got out of the hospital and is now under the strict guidance of Unit Number 1 (That's MOM) and believe me he better start listening!!

I talked to him this morning and told him that I was home nursing my cold, more than likely something I picked up visiting him at the hospital last week, and as I worked over the weekend I thought I'd stay in and recuperate today....

Looking back at the hospital, when dad finally got a room...30 hrs after getting to the emergency room..I have to say the room was kinda creepy. When I first went in it seemed quite spacious. It was a Corner room with 2 large windows looking out on the wooded hillside behind the hospital. I grabbed a chair next to the windows and then I noticed this....



Turkey Vultures...

Somehow it just doesn't seem right to have Turkey Vultures looking into you hospital room...to me it's creepy.

It wasn't like there was just one either...



They were all over the place!!

Well Dad's home, we didn't let those stinking turkeys get em and on Sunday he saw Tom Brady and the Patriot's win their 18th straight win...That's one for the history books, and now they head to the Super Bowl to take on the NY Giants looking for their 19th straight win and 4th Super bowl victory in 7 years...

Boston vs NY does it get any better!!

It's great to be a fan here in Beantown!! The Red Sox have already taken the World Series, The Celtics have the best record in the NBA and well then there's the New England Patriots! 15 Wins and NO Losses scheduled to play on Saturday Night for a record no one thought would ever be on the line...

So, while there isn't much to complain about as far as Football is concerned here in New England, there is one aspect of the game that isn't really being given any credit..

The Cheerleaders

Their job is to Support, Inspire and Enthuse both the Team and of course the Fans. Unfortunately it seems that the Networks like to run ads and promotions across the TV Screen during the games and we never really get to see all the hard work those girls do..!!

It's Horrible, in a study conducted by the, National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research, of 104 catastrophic injuries sustained by female high school and college athletes from 1982 to 2005 — head and spinal trauma that occasionally led to death — more than half resulted from cheerleading. (NY Times)

It's dangerous out there!!

There are Cameras out on the field
