Winning streak over

So, Notre Dame's season has been rough. We all know this. But yesterday it sunk to a new low, losing to Navy and ending a 43-game winning streak.

We still had some fun yesterday, though. Matt and I spent Saturday morning exploring Michigan Avenue. We checked out the shops but didn't actually buy anything. Most of the stuff there was a little out of our price range! Afte watching the Michigan and Notre Dame games, we headed out to the suburbs to have dinner with our friends Emily and Jeff and their baby Joseph at their house. It was fun to be in a real house again, and Joseph is more than four months old so he was ready to play and smile and laugh with us. We finished off the night with a little more football, and then came hoome and went to bed.

Today we're having some people over for Super Bowl 41.5 -- the unbeaten Patriots take on the also-unbeaten defending Super Bowl champions, the Colts. I'm stuck doing a bit of work today, too, but at least I can do it from home. I'm very grateful for all of the technology out there that allows me to sit on my couch and turn my sad old laptop into my work computer.
