Today is similar to a national holiday to all those who are fanatical about the National Football League. It is Super Bowl Sunday and there will be parties galore, even around my little neighborhood. The question is what are you doing to celebrate the Super Bowl? I am running a 5K race. Before leaving for… Continue reading Super Bowl Sunday
