Super Bowl weekend is upon us
It's probably the most widely celebrated non-holiday in America--the Super Bowl. You can watch the Seahawks and Patriots square off in all sorts of places. Good thing the game was here last year rather than this year--imagine what a nightmare it would have been digging the stadium out from the snow we've gotten.
