Facet 26- "The Tackle" and replays of it



I will never forget this. This was the play that saved the Super Bowl for my beloved St. Louis Rams. Sure, this season is an absolute disaster. But that's one of the great things about sports: It gives you a chance to live in the past, if only for a few shining seconds.

I never get tired of watching the replay of this. It makes me happy. How can you not be happy when your team wins? Though I have my times of impatience with the team, I can always go back to this.

Facet 25- A Carriage Ride Thru Christmas Lights


Well, it's getting to be that time of year. Faithful readers will know that I absolutely love the Christmas Holiday season. I define it as the day before Thanksgiving to either January 6 or the when the College football championship game is played, whichever comes later. (See Facet 2 on Christmas Music)

This is one of the most romantic things I can think of. I wish I could do this for the GF this year. A horse-drawn carriage ride through a big Christmas lights display simply cannot be beat. The whole experience is romantic. From the cuddling under a blanket to that kiss that you wish wouldn't end but you know it has to or else you'd miss the lights, usually surrounded by the sounds of the season. Everything about it is just thrilling! A whole romantic evening during the Christmas season should revolve around this. It's probably as incredible as a good steak. Probably better if you have the special GF that I do.

Facet 24- A Nap During a Football Game


I love American football. And, for some reason, I love sleeping during parts of games. I honestly don't know what it is. And I can't even remember when it started. All I know is a few years back, I fell asleep during one of the late games while sitting on my parents couch. Since then, I mostly get one in, even if it's a small one. While some may say that I have too much time on my hands, I look at it differently.

Of course, I can't sleep when my beloved St. Louis Rams are playing. Then, I'm too busy either pacing or yelling at the screen to sleep. But I digress.

Back to the topic at hand. I like to nap about midway through the 2nd quarter, and wake up about midway through the 3rd. Sure, I might miss some exciting plays. But if it's 2 teams I don't really care about, why does that matter?

You really should give this a try.
