Disclaimer: I am generally disinterested in most major league sports in the U.S. Baseball -- juiced, who cares. Basketball...uhhhh. Football... I'm sorry, what'd you say? Just don't care.

I loved last night's Super Bowl! That was an exciting football game! And on top of it all, I enjoyed watching the underdogs -- NY Giants -- when at the very end of the game. WOW! A touchdown pass with only 35 seconds remaining in game! WOW!

The Giants' defense was all over Tom Brady like a cheep suit. Tom Brady was covered in cheep , polyester plaid. And Eli Manning just did a great job on keeping focused. And that tackle he shook off in the 4th quarter! Great job!

And the commercials, which is the reason I usually watch the Super Bowl, were excellent. In particular, I enjoyed the Planters Cashews, the Coke parade balloons, the Will Ferrell Budweiser ad, the FedEx carrier pigeons, and the Bridgestone tires' ads were hilarious!

Just thought I'd chime in.

I couldn't believe this story when I saw it on Fox News. It seems that the city of Berkeley, CA has decided that the U.S. Marine Corps recruiting office in Berkeley is considered an invasion.

The City Council has voted to tell the Marines their downtown recruiting station is not welcome and "if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome guests."

The city council also voted to give Code Pink -- a ultra-liberal anti-war protest group -- a permanent parking spot in front of the recruiting office. In addition, they've also authorized immunity from noise laws for the purpose of protesting.

Hopefully, we'll see what a federal district court thinks about the issue. But, knowing that portion of the country, the district will probably side with Berkeley. More justification for judicial reform.

For Christmas, my lovely wife bought me a new digital camera -- a Canon EOS 10D (at left). For years I have been "jonesing" to do some serious photography. If you so desire, you can go check out my gallery to see my work. I have decided just today that I'm going to push myself to actually do more shooting.

In that vein, I'm going to make an offer. Anyone who lives in the greater Louisville, KY area can drop me a line and I will arrange to take your portrait for a minimal fee. As long as it doesn't require a great deal of travel, I would probably just ask to cover the cost of prints/CDs. Why so cheap? Because I want to enhance my portfolio and build experience. Just drop me a line.

Just thought I'd take a moment to make a post. I used to be a more prolific blogger, but my job has gotten more interesting since then. Much more interesting. So, when I get home, I'm not quite so eager to spend time on the computer. Anyway, I'll try to get better (especially as the election progresses).

Speaking of the election, I'm following the Florida Primary rather closely at the moment. With more than 30% of the precincts reporting, it's still anybody's game (at 8:30pm EST). I'm a Romney supporter, so I'm pulling for Mitt.

I can't believe the vitriol that I'm hearing from McCain against Romney. He's made any number of rancorous attacks on Romney. I heard a automated phone message that McCain sent out in Florida that accused Romney of being for abortion on demand and supporting gay marriage. But we all know that Romney is against both these issues. Hopefully, McCain will stop this type of campaigning soon.

Just my opinion.

I'm thinking about switching back to my GotDesign blog. Smarter Than Celery is just a little too long and awkward. Probably coming back soon... if at all.
