The Good Life on Super Bowl Sunday

By Sterling Parker
You and I both know that I am very blessed and live "the good life." However, I feel I am socially awkward. I came to this conclusion the morning of Super Bowl LI. I suddenly realized that I hadn't been invited to a single party. The truth is, I have never been invited to a Super Bowl party. Fifty-one Super Bowls and not one invitation.  Do I feel bad? No, not really. I am not a social butterfly. My beautiful wife Sandy and myself are very inept at social events. I should say just me, as everybody likes Sandy and her radiant personality. I imagine if I should die before the next Super Bowl someone would invite her. Oh man, I would turn over in my grave because I would know it was me that was inept! 
We decided to have our own little party. My daughter Kim and her husband and kids share the house with us.  The eight of us had a celebration! Kim and Travis made some delicious meatballs and wrapped the little hotdogs in bacon and cooked them in a little crock pot. They had several dips and assorted chips. You see, even being socially awkward, we survived the day! Thanks to our kids for the delicious food.
I was only disappointed by one thing...the commercials. There was only two or three that I actually enjoyed. There was a Skittles commercial, where the dude is throwing Skittles into his girlfriends room. That one made me laugh and smile! To tell you the truth, all the ads for the coming movies and television season, they are heaped with violence. I don't watch TV shows or go to the movies, but I do watch sports.  
No matter if you are Republican or Democrat, the highlight of Super Bowl LI was President and Mrs. Bush being wheeled out on the field for the coin flip. That was amazing to honor the couple in their hometown! Yes, I did enjoy the halftime show also. I think that Gaga Lady was awesome, coming down from the sky and floating in midair. She actually entertained the whole nation, young and old. So I guess I did enjoy "the good life" on Super Bowl Sunday, despite not having been invited to a party.  I hope you did too.
