You may think it is because you close your eyes, ears, mind and heart thinking it will all go away.

It doesn’t.

It waits for you to realize this the love, pain, sorrow and joy are all part of the experience.

It was quite the experience.

One thing that did not surprise me was the hospitality of those working the event.

Police, sales clerks, TV cameramen, and volunteers all were pleasant and had the time to talk to a curious journalist.

The word “super” was used a lot by workers and fans alike.

Have a super day. Are you having a super good time? Super to hear you like the festivities.

Those were heard during the visit.

It is hopeful Indianapolis will get another shot to host the Super Bowl in the next 10 years.

It did not hurt that it is one of the mildest winters in recent memory.

But Hoosier hospitality is no accident.

It will be a trip I cherish.

Peyton and Archie Manning go head to head in punt, pass and kick competition.

Players from the Giants and Patriots got to take a hot lap in those Indy race cars at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The Weather Channel’s Stephanie Abrams reads Sunday’s game forecast while traveling the zipline.

Ben Folds was performing the halftime show.

WTHR meteorologist Chuck Lofton  joins NBC broadcasters Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth to call the game.

My Dad was part of the color guard for the Star Spangled Banner.

Larry Bird helped with the coin flip.

My former sixth-grade English teacher and current Indiana State Rep. Shelia Klinker sang the National Anthem.

Winning team decides to douse fans rather than their coach with Gatorade.

David Letterman was the replay booth official.

It was not a good thing.

Rudeness is not acceptable when others are trying to help.

I am sorry.

I know better.

Lesson learned.

The furry little  critter calls for six more weeks of winter since he saw his shadow. Or was that the line of long coat gentlemen who parade around as part of the club that puts on this show every Feb. 2 in Punxsutawney, Pa.

How in the world can the little fella say six more weeks of winter when we have hardly had any?

Those groundhogs sure know how to incite the people.

Since I saw my shadow, I am thinking of going back to hibernate for a few days.

Just don’t let those guys in the long coats any where near me.

Its initial public offering (IPO) is considered the most anticipated since Google in 2004.

There is even talk that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg will want the more than 800 million users an opportunity to get in on the ground floor rather than letting big-time buyers the opportunity to scoop up the stock.

Amazing this Facebook saga gets with each passing day.

I am still hoping for a pie-in-the-face button.

Broderick showed how much fun you could have by taking a nice day off in the movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” back in 1986.

Twenty-six years later, it is Broderick who calls off filming for the day to cruise around town in his CR-V. Honda is launching the 2012 model.

It is a riot. He has fun making fun of himself and others.

Broderick even gambols in an art museum with a group of children.

And the young lady in the front car of the roller coaster with him steals the scene.

The spot is for Sunday’s big game  but is already out on YouTube.

It is a great way to start a day where the expected high temperature could hit 60 degrees today.

Life comes at you fast. You have to know how to grab it.

So get out there and start.

The city of Indianapolis is the proud host this year.

There is much to do in the city in the days leading up to next Sunday’s game pitting the New York Giants against the New England Patriots.

The weather is even cooperating. Highs for most of the week in Indy will be at or above 50 degrees.

I for one is prepping for all the commercials.

The game is great but I love how companies pour a lot of money into a little creativity.

Better news is that were are only a few weeks away from pitchers and catchers reporting for Major League Baseball’s spring training.

The sporting life is good.

It appears he was right.

I am currently in physical therapy for a recurring bulging disk in my neck.

There is some issues with some medicines I am taking.

Now there is tendonitis in my left bicep tendon.

Fun times these are.

The one good thing is the people helping me through all these warranty issues are very good and enjoy what they do.

So I will conquer these things.

Wait!

I just learned Thursday during my visit to the dentist that I have a cavity that needs filled and maybe need to get another tooth crowned.

See. More parts wearing out.

I think I might stay in bed today.

“Touch” made its premiere on Fox.

Like any good story, this one was slow building to the exciting last 15 minutes.

Martin Bohm, is the father of a gifted autistic child, Sutherland tries hard to connect with the emotionally challenged son he has been raising on his own since his wife died in the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

The show will begin its season March 19.

It shows promise. It is amazing how so many lives can be touched by one person.

What is it with Sutherland and these stories that just take us to the limits of our emotions.

That is a good thing.

We will start the journey with father and son and how they touch people.

They got my attention Wednesday night.
