So, what are your plans while...

I'm 1,370 miles from home today down in Puerto Vallarta. I'm recording the Super Bowl at home so I didn't have any plans to watch it real-time today, but I happened to walk through the lobby of the Sheraton here in PVR just as the National Anthem was being performed. I have to say I was a bit humbled and proud to see that literally everyone in this huge resort hotel stopped what they were doing, stood to face the TV and honored the singing of our Anthem. Really cool.

As for Puerto Vallarta… Meh. I could take it or leave it. It's been raining most of the day so the typical fun in the sun just didn't happen. I'll have to say it's been nice to get away from the snow and cold. I started my day this morning in Milwaukee where it snowed most of the night and was about 17 degrees when we departed this morning at 4:45am Denver time.

Enjoyed some beer at Black Bottle Brewing after work watching the seahawks lose.

I watched a fantastic historic mini-series from about 20 years ago, "Rough Riders". It told the story of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and the 1st US Volunteer Cavalry (and a few others you may have heard of like Brig Gen Leonard Wood, 1Lt John J. Pershing, Maj Gen Joseph Wheeler, etc.) and without any of the liberal rewriting of history that has become so prevalent. John Milius was a master craftsman.

I slept, it was awesome! Working nights, I gotta squeeze in the Z's when I can.

I ended up watching the commercials on DVR, caught the last minute or so of the game. Would have been nice if both teams could have lost...

We drove up to Denver to "watch the game" with my in-laws. I ended up watching the last few minutes of it. The rest of the time was just some good socializing with the in-laws and their friends while enjoying some delicious food and drink. Just to make it worthwhile, I listened to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast on the way there and back. He does weeks of research for a 3-4hr podcast and then tells it like a story - it is actually quite enjoyable to listen to. He finds a lot of primary source information and quotes that you don't often hear (his podcast about the Spanish American War taught me a lot about Teddy Roosevelt!). This one episode was the first in a five part series about World War I. Each part is about 4 hours long and he goes into an incredible amount of detail. His speaking kind of reminds me of the way Stephen E. Ambrose wrote.
