Why I loved last night’s Super Bowl

I don’t follow football. At all. Never have. Most of the time I’m surprised to learn that the Super Bowl is on.

I used to appreciate the commercials and watched mostly for them, but in the last few years that hasn’t been much of a draw either.

So what was it about last night’s Super Bowl that was so great that I now sing it’s praises?

It’s very simple: it kept all you crazy football nuts out of my way while I went to dinner with my family on a Sunday night.

We went out to a restaurant that is usually a 20-30 minute wait on weekends. We walked straight in and sat at the table. Not even a 5 second wait. They brought us chips and salsa all night. There were maybe 8 other tables with people in the entire restaurant. Noise was low, service was good. Traffic on the way home was non-existent; I think I saw 5 cars over 8 miles.

It was one of the most relaxing dinners out I’ve had in a long time.

So, thank you very much, crazy Super Bowl fanatics, for staying home and keeping your families with you. I sincerely appreciate it. Let’s do it again, soon.
