It's finally not a one woman celebration

Damon & I are football fanatics, however we don't agree on who's the best. As emphatically described in Friday's post, I am a Pittsburgh apologist, Damon Chicago. This is not our first family Super Bowl with the Steelers seeing action. In fact, it's the 3rd in four years, and Damon's attitude on the first two were always poor, & I get it, he was salty it was not the Bears. That's not too say that his soft side does not show it's sweet face.

In '06 my aunt sent me full-page clippings from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette highlighting that season's key players. A thougtful gesture since I live so far away, but my husband took it one step further. Damon visited the copy store and had the papers laminated to hang up at our Super Bowl celebration, and as I hung them up for this year's celebration I was reminded, however lame, that the smallest gesture from someone you love can make the biggest impact.

This year Damon's gesture came in the way of a phrase. He said, "This year I am rooting for the Steelers. I know I never do but this year is different. It will kill me to see the Packers win." Okay I thought, I'll take it. Finally this year, I am not waving my flag solo next to Donnie Downer.
