> [@Cunctator](#): > > Not even half time? Gosh. How long does it go for? The paper this morning here said that it started at 10am (Monday Sydney time). It’s almost 12.30pm now. SBS doesn’t have scheduled programming until 2:30, which is probably a little more time than they need, but maybe not a lot. I’m watching the Superbowl!!! And I’m in Australia!!! I was so excited to find it on free-to-air tv. Except that I keep having little crying jags because I’m so homesick ☹ . But, YAY! ---

Philly checking in here, Oh well. If our past is any indicator there’s always next year or the year after or the year after. We’re just getting warmed up. 😃 ---
