Alastair's First Super Bowl!

While the weekly update is a few days late, it was all because Alastair was so stressed out planning his Super Bowl party to celebrate the game here in Indianapolis between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. While Alastair is a diplomatic little guy, he did his fair share of molting under the stress of rooting for NY! In fine style, and with immense help from his friend Angie Heitman, Alastair was happy about the spread put out for the party. Bacon and crab stuffed mushrooms, meatballs, hot wings, cheese sticks, veggie plate, guacamole and sausage queso dip - and LOTS of brownies, cookies and pie!

As homage to the honor that Indianapolis had in hosting the Super Bowl this year, Alastair would like to share some "fun facts" about this past week here in Indianapolis:

1. This is the first time the Super Bowl has ever been hosted in Indiana.

2. Indianapolis is the northern most City to host the Super Bowl (other than Detroit). Shocking that Indianapolis got to host the Super Bowl before Chicago!

3. Only fifteen (15) cities have hosted the Super Bowl in its 46 year history. Indianapolis is ONE LUCKY CITY!

4. Alastair has not had peace to sleep lately - living near the airport and witnessing the traffic, it is no surprise that 90% of those attending this year's Super Bowl flew to the Indianapolis Airport to get here!

5. Super Bowl Ads are part of the fun. Alastair had many favorites (including the M&M Ad and The Voice ad with Betty White coming in a close 2nd and 3rd), but his favorite was the Dodge Ad with Clint Eastwood. It is half-time America! http://www.freep.com/article/20120205/BUSINESS0103/302060003/Chrylser-Super-Bowl-ad-Clint-Eastwood-halftime

At the end of the day, it was a fun ride and a fun party, but it will be nice to fade back into a quiet midwestern existence. Thanks for visiting everyone! Hope you enjoyed Indianapolis and loved it as much as we do!
