  • Is 7 miles a travail?   Hardly. Yet it’s more than a ‘mini mini marathon’.  Well, it was in the high 20s (F.) and almost festively sunny here yesterday.  Hell, that’s a tropical anomaly compared to nearly the whole month of January’s teenage and younger digits dreary deep freeze.  Consequently, I finally got to run again on dry pavement, without gloves, and felt the sun baking me with its miraculous incandescence.  I pretended, thus pampered, that I was running in a desert in the Southwest in the summer and feeling cool despite the torrid onslaught from a solar cindering furnace. ha  I think I even got a bit of a suntan!

    IFILM features Real Player/Windows Media Player/Quicktime Player versions of all the ads from yesterday’s SuperBowl here.    Although small in format, I prefer to view them online rather than on tv.  I truly dislike the the tv programming concept of ads punctuating viewing (making the SuperBowl the ultimate 4-hour plus milk-job). My clear favorite is Pepsi: Purple Haze (Jimi) .  The only others I liked were Bud Light: Fergus, Bud Light! , Budweiser: Yelling Like a Ref, and Pepsi: Thirsty Grizzlies. 


    The rest of the ads, to me, seemed lame and bland.  ha  An estimated $180 million was spent for adverstising time during the Bowl and the post-featured Survivor show.   hrmm...  I wonder how many Renoirs, Matisses, and Rodins I could purchase with a bundle of cash of that magnitude?!
