Last Sunday we watched the Steelers in the playoffs. It was a very disappointing game. Only the week before, William and Bill had sat in the stands at Heinz Field and watched the game against the Jets go into overtime. Then the Steelers made a field goal that won it, 20-17. It was thrilling, even on television.
But the 23rd of January did not bring us a better game. In fact, it gave us an awful game. Disappointing and awful.
The children were very excited. The boys wore their Roethlisberger jerseys, Bill and Emma Grace wore Steelers hats, and I looked in vain for our Terrible Towel. We ordered pizza and settled in for the duration.
The rest is history.
Oh, well. There’s always next year.
