**Things you’d rather do than watch the Super Bowl**

1. Clip my toenails
2. Shop at the supermarket
3. Almost anything else
4. Spend some quality time with an attractive member of the opposite sex

Come to think of it, I’d rather do that than a LOT of other things, not just the Super Bowl!!

5. Go for a drive

I just did. There’s nobody on the road! I don’t remember the last time I was out for a drive with so little traffic.  
I had to take my sister to the train station, a drive that usually takes 10 minutes, and was afraid that I hadn’t allowed enough time, but with no traffic at all it took just 6 minutes.
