I’ll be honest, I didn’t watch the Super Bowl. I might have if the 49er’s had made through the playoffs but no such luck this year. I have been a “Niner’s” fan ever since they could barely win 2 games a season but I don’t watch football much these days. All the hoopla about the big game and several recent conversations about what I do have gotten me to thinking about what my life feels like it may look like if it were a football game.

This is probably not going to be the train of thought you were interested in but I do you hope you will read it through to the end. I believe there is valuable knowledge we can all gain by looking at something from a different perspective. I am one of the most technologically challenged people I know.
