Brett Favre Hyundai Super Bowl Commercial
Did you see the Brett Favre Hyundai Super Bowl commercial? I love it!
Of course there would be nothing that would make me happier than to have Favre play another 10 years!
Here are some funny out-takes.
Brett Favre Injury Photos
Brett Farve’s injuries in the playoff game were much more serious than previously thought. Here are the pictures that were sent by his agent to a journalist:

These photos come from Brett Favre’s agent, Bus Cook, who shared them with Rick Cleveland of the Clarion-Ledger.
Looking at the extent of the injuries certainly gives you some insight into Favre’s fateful end-of-the-4th-quarter decision not to run the ball and go for the pass instead.
I am such a die-hard Favre fan that I can’t think clearly about him. What I love about watching him goes beyond appreciation of his talent. I love watching his passion for the game and watching how his enthusiasm energizes the whole team.
If he had stayed out of the game after his ankle injury he would have gone out a hero. If he had hung onto the ball instead of passing the Vikings might have made the field goal and won the game.
But the part of Farve that made him get back into the game and made him go for the pass is what people like me love most about him.
In this life how many chances do we get to see pure passion expressed so openly and joyfully?
I know that posting these photos won’t even begin to silence his detractors but I am hoping that they will help his fans understand what happened at the end of the playoff game.

Viking Saints game a heartbreaker
Watching the Viking Saints game was pure torture for us Brett Favre fans.
I live in the Green Bay area where most people still really love Brett Favre and root for him no matter who he plays for.
I really don’t care about the Vikings and only followed them because Favre seemed happy there.
Obviously the best outcome of the Viking Saints game would have been for Favre to shine and the Vikings to win but if I had to choose I would rather that Favre had a good game and the Vikings lost than for the Vikings to win despite a poor performance by Favre.
Of course the outcome was the worst thing possible: the Vikings lost because of a mistake by Favre. He made a very stupid pass which was intercepted and prevented the Vikings from kicking a very doable field goal to win the game. It was in some ways a gruesome re-enactment of the end of Favre’s last game with the Packers.
You know what the brightest moment of the game was for me? It sounds crazy but I felt really good when Favre was injured and it looked like he might not come back to the game.
He would have gone out a hero. That is all I wanted out of this game.
But he will always be a hero to me.
Work is play?
I was reading some poetry today before the Vikings game started and I ran across “Two Tramps in Mud Time” by Robert Frost. The final stanza spoke to me as I struggle to decide which path to follow in my career.
But yield who will to their separation,
My object in living is to unite
My avocation and my vocation
As my two eyes make one in sight.
Only where love and need are one,
And the work is play for mortal stakes,
Is the deed ever really done
For Heaven and the future’s sakes.
Work has certainly not been play for me lately. I am not happy with multi-level marketing. (see previous post) I am bored with all the nit-picky detail work involved with affiliate marketing. The final deciding factor is that I have come to the realization that I no longer enjoy working from home.
I started working from home when my kids were little so I could stay home and take care of them. Then when my kids got older my parents got sick and I brought them to live with me. So for a long time working from home was a real blessing in my life, allowing me to be there for the people I love most. But now my kids are grown and my parents have passed away. It has gradually dawned on me that I am really sick of working alone at home by myself!
So now I am taking some classes to prepare me for a second career. I want to have coworkers again and I want to be able to “punch out” and just walk away from work. Until you have had your own home business you cannot begin to imagine how much it takes over your life!
I am not going to give up my online multi-level marketing and affiliate marketing businesses. It would be crazy for me to drop them and walk away. But I am looking forward starting something new in the real world!
Wish me luck…
Validation! My favorite video
This is my favorite video and I want to share it with everyone…
Frozen energy drink cans explode in car!
Did you ever wonder what it would look like if two large cans of orange energy drink froze solid and then exploded in the front seat of a small car?
Well, if so, you have come to the right place!
When I first saw all the orange ice in the car I couldn’t imagine what it was…
Actually I am very lucky that they were frozen so hard when they exploded because it was relatively easy to sweep and scoop the ice chunks out of the car. If they had exploded while still liquid and then later the whole mess froze up… yikes! I don’t even want to imagine what that would have looked like.
So, the moral of the story is (obviously) don’t leave cans of liquid in the car in the winter in northern Wisconsin!
I have a new phone number!

Back from vacation…
I am back from my vacation and getting over a bad cold that I picked up as a Labor Day souvenir.
Actually it is nice to be back in my office and doing the work I love.
Give me a call if there is anything I can help you with!
