We Canadians are a pretty nice bunch. Everybody knows that. We also say "sorry" a lot (this is very true), and I'm sorry about that, but it just happens. Cause we want to be nice and not offend anyone.
But today is the Big Game, Super Bowl Sunday. There will be factions and homes split down the middle: Pops rooting for Patriots and Uncle Fred cheering on the Underdog Eagles. They will still be saying "I'm sorry" but it will be more like "I'M SORRY!! BUT THAT WAS AN IDIOTIC CALL!!"
Just be nice...
Lulu, she is not a nice dog. So don't take any cues from her.
She's a bit of a brat, really. She would harass my Old Man Frodo (miss you Old Man) and I would have to remind Lulu that this is an Old Cat - like frail and pushing 100 years by human standards.
See what I mean? Just be nice Lulu.
There's a sordid tale about one of the Kings of Judah. His father, Jehoshaphat was a great guy: wise king, honest and true. His brothers were all great guys too. But Jehoram happened to be born first so the throne came to him. First up he had all his brothers and few officials to boot executed. Not a nice guy. You can read about his disastrous reign yourself in 2 Chronicles 21. He only reigned for 8 years. Then he died of a nasty bowel disease. Scripture says "he passed away unlamented". Another version puts it this way? "He departed with no one's regret". Like, good riddance don't let the door hit you on the way out. That's got to be one of the saddest scriptures around!
So while you are watching the game, make sure you make amends during the half time while you all sing along with Justin Timberlake.
Don't be a sore loser, or a saucy winner - just be nice.
