My Vagabond Life

I am one lucky vagabond. My plan for four days in Morehead changed completely at the last minute when my hostess got Covid. Our other friend who was going to come down with me had been exposed to Covid also so I came alone.

No problem. I taught my classes and called another friend, Annette who was down here. New plans emerged and I had dinner with Annette last night, ran into Durham Friends Peggy and Walker and they invited us to to their house for the Super Bowl tonight.

When I got there I knew almost everyone as they had all been Mah Jongg students of mine. Walker and Peggy have a beautiful house where we comfortably all gathered to watch the game. Thankfully we all were KC fans, or at least the vocal ones were. With about 11 or 12 people we were actually all interested in the game and watched intently.

My take aways were, the audio on Reba and Usher was not good enough. The first half of the game was dull. Both QB’s did a great job, but you just had to let Mahomes be himself and take the game.

The commercials all had so many stars in them. Sometimes we were just naming the stars as they flashed by and not paying attention to what the ad was about. I did not know where the Africa football ad was going and thought it was exploitive of the NFL to be promoting football in Africa to get future players.

They did not seem to show too much of Taylor, but just enough to keep her fan base tuned in.

The halftime show started slow and ended on a high, but not the best show in my opinion.

But the party at the Harris’ was great and as a vagabond I was thrilled with the last minute invitation for such a fun night.

Now the problem is the game went so long and I was with people all day in class and at a party. I may never go to sleep.
