Today is the Superbowl...

the NBA Playoffs...

March Madness...

the Stanley Cup Playoffs...

the World Cup...

of politics and Cody couldn't be more enthralled. My husband loves going to sporting events and will watch sports on the television in social environments, BUT he is not the type of man to watch Sports Center at the end of the day or a game (whether playoff or not) on his own.

And although he's not an avid sports lover, he is obsessed with politics. He has scheduled our employees today so that he can vote, and then retire to the house early for watching everything politics.

And now I find myself asking him if we are going to be ordering in tonight so that we don't miss any announcements. Who am I? When did I start caring? I now watch Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC (in that order). All channels I wasn't acquainted with prior to marrying my husband.

So in conclusion: Cody is unlike most men when it comes to sports, but competition is competition - whether in sports or politics - and like other men, he does love himself a good competition.

Off to watch some political commentary and outcomes.

  1. Oh yeah I remember those days living with Cody...I'll bet he'd like this blog - she basically said the same thing last week...

  2. My favorite memories of Cody have to do with CNN. I would come home from work to MY apartment to find him on MY couch watching CNN and none of MY roommates would be home. Always, made for a good laugh!

  4. Lori - Cody doesn't understand the Californians. He just thinks that if the residents don't like the direction of the state (or where it currently is), then why elect the same individuals. He quotes Einstein, "insanity is doing the same thing over and over, but expecting different results."

    I understand the majority of the state is going to vote blue no matter what. But, I'd like to see some fresh faced democratic candidates to win the primaries so that we get new leadership when the democratic party wins the race. That's all I'm asking for. Just somebody else.

  5. I am a fellow CNN junkie. Just ask Brad, I go to sleep watching Anderson Cooper on a daily basis. I am going to Atlanta in a few weeks, and I can't wait to take the CNN studio tour!
