Rain! And the Super Bowl!

We had five straight days of rain a few weeks ago.  But the pool in the courtyard of our apartment never overflowed.  I was watching.  And I  really wanted it to.  The pool went back to the normal level.

It rained yesterday.  And it poured from 8 p.m. until about 6 a.m.  I went outside around 3 a.m. to listen and watch the rain because it was just so crazy.  I love rain.

We got so much rain last night - this is the closest the pool has been to overflowing:

The 5x5 tile that says 8 is almost completely submerged.  The regular water level is two inches below the start of the numbered tile.  Yay rain!  Boo, no overflowing!

You might notice that I am wearing a Reggie Bush Saints jersey.  I am extremely conflicted.  I've heart'd  Reggie Bush since his USC freshman year.  And Drew Brees since he was a Boilermaker.  And we have family in New Orleans.  And the Saints have never won a Super Bowl and you know how I love underdogs.  And if the Saints win the victory parade will be crazier than any Mardi Gras parade, and that's saying something.

But.

The first quarterback I ever loved was Steve Sarkisian from BYU when I was in fifth grade.  The second quarterback I ever loved was Peyton Manning at Tennessee when I was in sixth grade.  And I've been a Peyton fan ever since.  I have a long history with Peyton (well - not a personal history - just a fan history in case you were confused.).  Plus, the Colts have Aaron Francisco and Austin Collie from BYU.  I cheered for those guys in person in Provo-land.

I have no idea who I want to win.  Either way I'm going to be happy and sad.  But it should be an excellent game to watch.  But I don't know if I can stand to watch.  I can't wait!
