is it over yet?

I'm in Superbowl overload. Every morning, the paper has a whole section devoted to the Superbowl. All the local radio stations can talk about is the game, the teams, the boost to the economy.

*gah!*

All I see is more traffic on the freeways/major roads in the afternoon when I'm trying to get home. Plus, I see more people who don't know where they're going and pull the three lane change to go from the far right to the left turn lane. More people at the restaurants means it takes longer for my take out food to get ready for pickup. Since I don't have a supermodel body, I don't have to worry about trying to get into the hot nightclubs.

I remember back in 2001, my sister got married in late October. The same weekend of the NASCAR race (and the Diamondbacks were in the World Series). So after doing my maid of honor duties of shuttling various family members from the airport to places to stay, we learned the hard lesson of trying to get them out of town the Monday after the wedding. I started to bring them to the airport with four hours of lead time, and every one of them missed their flights due to long, long, long, LONG lines to check in.

Lucky for me, I don't have to go near the airport anytime soon since I just got back from Seattle a few weeks ago.
