Today is a day just not meant for someone like me. I’m not at all into professional sports, football especially. I usually take today as a time to get out and take advantage of the absence of people everywhere, but this year it’s a little different, mostly because I’ve got a baby around and partly because there’s just not that much to do on a Sunday in the suburbs.

Coffeehouses aren’t much of a refuge for the non-sports minded, and there aren’t that many good ones around here anyway—I’m hoping I find a decent one that’s close by one of these days now that I mention it. The bars out here are mostly sports bars or would have some kind of television playing the game, and the clubs out here are, well, you get the idea. So my avoidance of the Superbowl has evolved into simply finding something to do rather than doing something different out of protest. Tonight’s something will be this.
