Day 1551

We woke up about 7 again, but stayed in bed to play games for an hour or more.  Then it was pet stuff and breakfast.

I scrubbed the kitchen table (it needed it).  Then I collected all of the old mail that's been piling up on the counters and piled it on the table.Ellen and I deivde it into three piles - garbage, file, and shred.  Cooper zoomed out when I opened the door to put the garbage pile in the recycle.

That began about an hour of chasing Cooper through the woods.  He went back and forth in the woods, eventually going almost out to the street.  John came out to help chase him down.  Eventually he got tired and sat down.  Ellen picked him up.  Both of my arms were bleeding from scratches as I chased him through the brush.

After that it was surfing and then some game playing.  I got tired of that and started putting together a Lego set we bought a few days ago.  I didn't feel like working on the complex "pro" set.

I had leftover pizza for lunch.  When I opened the door to take the garbage out Cooper zoomed out again.  He ran all the way from the bedroom out the front door.  Fortunately this time he didn't leavre the front yard.  It was still 10 minutes of chasing him around.

About then John came over.  He watched a car show or two and then we turned on the Super Bowl preview.  We had to watch it for an hour and a half before the game started.  Ellen fixed steaks for dinner.  They were REALLY good.

The game was a very good one.  The teams were evenly matched and tied at halftime.  San Francisco went ahead by 10.  Then Kansas City came back in the last 6 minutes and won 31-20.  Both John and I wanted San Francisco to lose, so we were happy.  The commercials varied from interesting and clever to "what the hell was that".

It was late by the time the game ended.  There was a little surfing and then bed.
