Dad 130: NFL Playoff Predictions

(I hope that Dad is right regarding the Patriots!  Enjoy his post!  -- Tracy)

Derf Here!  What a beautiful, bright sunny day out there.  It is quite cold, however.  This morning the temperature was on the south side of zero.  A typical winter day in the Northeast.  Must admit that our snow cover is now up to our total of last winter.  Slightly over twenty inches.  I hope this pattern will not continue for the remainder of the season.  Good Grief!  We've just started the month of January.  Turn off the snow guns.  Please!

Twenty-nine football "bowl" games are now done.  Only six to go.  I believe I've seen some of each game.  I'll continue to watch the remaining games.

Now to the Pros!  Want to thank "Luck" and the Colts for defeating Houston.  This allowed our Patriots to gain a week off during the playoffs.  It's possible, under certain conditions, that the Colts might come to New England to play the Pats.  I would then root for the Pats.  Wish the Colts well this weekend in their wild card game.  If Cincy and Colts win this weekend, the Colts will come to Foxboro.  The remarkable season of the Colts will come to an end at that time.  The Patriots will then travel to Denver to face the great Peyton for a trip to the Super Bowl.  Should be interesting.  I'm sure all you Indianapolis fans remember Peyton.  Go Pats!  Go Colts this weekend!

Well, we are now in 2013.  I, for one, did not see the year begin.  Slept through it, as usual.  Years ago I remember seeing the New Year in as we would attend a "watch night" service at church.  Do any of you recall such services?  We'd haul our instruments to church, sing a few songs, listen to a few speeches, play a few tunes on our instruments and, before you knew it, the New Year was beginning.  A little nostalgia!  Anyone else have the feelings?!  Oh, the good old days.  I must be getting old.  Very old!

Sooo... 'Nuff said!

Until next time!

Toodle Pip!

Derf!
