I really didn’t even intend to try and get Ice Bowl tickets when I woke up this morning. I figured with 75,000 seats the game wouldn’t sell out for quite some time. Then I said to myself, well, if I’m planning on going, I may as well try and get the best tickets possible. So…

I saw you commenting in my brother Paul’s blog, and couldn’t resist responding to a fellow Dutchman ;>
Oh – congratulations on the new expectant arrival.
