1. A friend of mine used to go skiing instead of watching the game . . .

He enjoyed football but he enjoyed skiing more, and the slopes were less crowded on Super Bowl Sunday.

2. My favorite super bowl party was eons ago

when the game started and I asked the daughter of a friend: "Do you want to go to the zoo and see the pandas?" - they were visiting the SF Zoo and she got all excited and said yes!

There were more folks there than I expected but still a lighter crowd than there would have been seeing the pandas.

3. There's binge-watching Batman movies...

That's my plan.

6. That's a great idea! What's on your list?

I own the Nolan trilogy on DVD, but have only watched the first one.
I should finish the other two, finally.

7. Torn between Michael Keaton and Christian Bale...

So much good with both.

The second Nolan one is the best, IMO. Third is okay, but the second is my favorite.

9. One of my favorite memories of my youth

was going to see Keaton's Batman on opening night at midnight.

A local theatre (now deceased, sob!) was screening the film for 24 hours straight on opening day, so we were at the first showing.
We exited to the sold-out crowd for the 2:30am showing and they were breathlessly asking if it was good.

Is it ever! We exclaimed!!

Wow, was it ever fun!!

4. Puppy Bowl instead.

5. Classical Music for Dummies is very good

for anyone who is interested in the topic but finds it intimidating.

8. Get started on income taxes.

I always put it off to the last moment. And then I say I will file sooner next time.

10. If there were snow

within sixty miles, I'd go skiing but I think I'll read since we have a big wind day. I read, I know several people who do.

11. 49ers vs the Chiefs??? NO WAY!!

Expecting a great game!

12. Sorry

I'm watching the SB just as I have every one of them since I was a kid.

13. The cultural snobbery combined with "plan an Oscar party" had me stumped for a moment, until

I realized that this came from the "editorial platform" of a "boho clothing brand."
