The Second Half Is Starting

Every year I make it a point to watch some fantastic commercials that are broken up by the final NFL game of the season. Yes, I watch the Superbowl for the commercials (and to see the game ball because I used to work in the Wilson factory that makes them). And every year it gets harder to answer the question "What was your favorite commercial?'. This year I had to resort to creating categories and different commercials took top honors in different categories (I think I'm making this a lot harder than it should be).

Anyway, one clip spoke to me particularly deeply this year. I'm sure the folks at that car company think the commercial is about them, and I've heard some political pundits saying it's about the upcoming Presidential election, and some cities say it's about them, the list goes on and on. As I see it, they're all wrong because the commercial is really about ME!



You see, this blog chronicles the start of what I perceive to be MY second half in the game of life. This is the start of the half AFTER I took some pretty good hits and needed a break.

The hits last year looked kind of like this:

(not my actual film, but similar)

And this:

And even this:

Even the good events take a toll on a person. But halftime just ended and I'm back on the field refreshed, focused and ready to go.

And unless you want to get run over I suggest you get out of the way.
