in loof’s head

 so much going on in my head right now.  

the superbowl is coming to indianapolis you may not of known that, but at the same time you may have lived under a rock for the last six months.  tomorrow i’m going downtown indy to take it all in.  i’m going to the nfl experience i got my tix ready to go, i’ll pick them up at the will call window.  i’m looking forward to just seeing what’s what downtown.  i hope i can find a place to park that won’t cost me two arms and three feet.  i’ll take my camera and cell phone and take tons of pics.  i’ll probably post a few here.  i originally wasn’t going to go anywhere near downtown, but i had a sudden kick in the brain one day a few weeks back.  i decided that my dad would of been all over this.  he would of loved to have gone downtown to see what was what. granted, he wold of groused about the fact that the nfl had indy over a barrel and was manhandling the city like a redheaded stepchild…he may not have actually used that language, but that’s the idea.  he would of been incredibly interested to see what was going on, so, too, my mom, but maybe not as much.  i’m going downtown, i guess, sort of, in memory of my parents.   i want to see it, too, but they would of been jonesin to go.  so, i’m gonna see what’s what.  i’m looking forward to it, too.  

yesterday, my facebook timeline exploded with horrific news.  an lcms pastor and his family were in tragic car accident.  they were hit, head on, in omaha on the highway.  this pastor, rev. geske’s, wife and two of his three children were killed in the accident.  he and his son were inured.  i’ve been thinking and praying for this man all day.  

it has been three months, next sunday, that my mom passed away.  i’m still working through emotions and trying to figure it all out.  

i picked up a vice over the last few months: pipe smoking.  its one of the few ways i can relax.  i have a pipe a drink or two after dinner when i get home from work.  it really is quite enjoyable.  i know its dangerous and probably shouldn’t do it,. but its something that i do, at least for the time being.
