What Happens When Baby's Around

We had Jazmine once again starting on Friday. As it happened we still had her going into Sunday afternoon as her mother (our daughter) was, as the figure of speech has it, running behind.

I bought lunch for my wife, Reiko, and me on he way home from Church. Of course, we ate shortly thereafter, feeding Jazmine as well.

My favorite football team, the Steelers, were playing that afternoon and it turned out I could watch the game on the TV. While my wife was watching our granddaughter I settled down to watching the game. I had gotten past the point where Cincinnati had scored first when suddenly I was informed I would have to take over watching granddaughter duties. So I set aside any idea of staying with the game; knowing I could fine out how it went later made this easier.

The approach I took was to come up with some entertainment I know she enjoys and will stay with. To that end I switched to DVD. We watched a Sing Along disk that runs for over 35 minutes. While she doesn't sing yet she takes great delight listening to the "Home on the Range". She truly enjoys music.

Next I pulled out Tinker Bell's Great Rescue, whatever the actual title. She tends to stay with this as well even though it is not a musical. By the time it was over her mom was here and it was just before 4 PM.

I switched back to TV to see how the game was going. It was over and I did not find my answer there. I went to my computer and learned that the Steelers had won.

Now you know what is of first importance and what is second importance in our household. Making the switch was not something I debated with myself over. I just did it.

Best.

12/5 Steelers v Ravens

I watched the game into the third quarter and read about the game as well as watched video. It was a rough, tough, hard hitting, defensive game. Congrats to the Steelers.

It seems to me:  it is clear that at least the refereeing teams are not impartial this year when dealing with a Steeler game. There were two infractions on Steeler players that were not called.I doubt those who committed the infractions will be fined. Not right.

Best.
