Is it just me, or does the Superbowl feel a little anticlimactic this year? I’m sure Colts fans will disagree, but it just doesn’t feel Superbowly to me. Now Prince, he was awesome. Best halftime show in a long time, if you ask me. He doesn’t need a million people on stage with him or the fireworks or wardrobe malfunctions. He is Prince.

I picked up a copy of The Oprah Magazine** as the cover promised something from David Sedaris, which turned out to be this two-paragraph anecdote, but I guess that’s okay because there is a giant feature about shoes and also I discovered this chocolate. In only five short months we will be living in Santa Fe again for the summer and I can have this chocolate first-hand without having to pay shipping. And maybe I will win a spa vacation with Oprah and Gayle.

Remember in school taking those President’s Physical Fitness Tests like flexed arm hang and long jump and sit-ups and rope climbs? Yeah. If your fitness was at the level of mine, those days in P.E. sucked. I am perhaps going to reconcile my past and have the ever-elusive closure by participating in the President’s Challenge. I’m not sure what it is, how long it lasts, or when I can stop, but my friend Tammy invited me to join her group and I did. Now I guess I have to exercise and stuff.

I finished Magic or Madness. It was definitely a page-turner. Now I must read the next book in the trilogy right away!! I really liked how even by the end of the book, you the reader does not know who you can trust. Because of the magic system Justine Larbalestier* set up for the books, no one is all good or all bad. This keeps the suspense up and characters and readers on their toes.

*I typed her whole name without stopping or looking up the spelling! Finally!

**Best Superbowl promo: Dave Letterman and Oprah. Yes!
