It looks like Ellen MacArthur's round-the-world jaunt is going to be successful, as she's now only 22 miles from the finishing line, with over a day left to break the record. Ben argued that she always seems to be whinging about how hard it is (which is a fair point - she is), but I don't think this detracts from the enormity of the achievement.
'bladed to Andy's yesterday evening to watch the first half of the Superbowl (which I just originally mis-typed as Superblow, btw - that will probably get me some porn ads off to the right) and 'bladed back at halftime (after a couple of cheeky bottles), thus missing Macca's mini-concert.
Overall, it was a pretty good game, and it was nice to be able to watch it at a civilised hour - I'm used to it finishing at around 3am when I'm in the UK. Both defenses [sic] were pretty solid, and Donovan McNabb (Eagles QB) didn't seemed to cope quite so well, launching some decidedly iffy missiles, resulting in some interceptions and some should-be interceptions.
The weekend also saw a meet-up with Bal for a curry Friday night, which was good fun. Great to catch up with him.
My wife has arrived back home from her jaunt in the UK, which I'm happy about. Good to have her back.
I'm still coming unstuck with my Virginia Madsen conundrum, despite help from my parents (scanning an article) and Anne-Marie's suggestion that it may be from Moonlighting. Keep working, guys.
