January 20

It's a fact of this human life that sometimes your team wins and sometimes they lose. 

But today was especially nice because both of our teams won.

Then Ravens were up first. Although the first half was a bit rocky and they entered halftime knotted in a 10-10 tie with the Texans, they surged in the second half and wound up winning handily.

The 49ers match-up against the Packers this evening was a bit more dicey. Adam's parents came over (with pizza) to join us for the game, and it was a nail-biter. It was pouring down rain in Santa Clara and both teams seemed to have issues, but the Niners looked particularly bad. But they persevered, and wound up winning thanks to a very late-game interception that put an abrupt end to the Packers' final drive.

It was stressful. But it was also fun to sit and watch the games with my people. I'm glad that both of our teams won because ultimately, you want your teams to come out on top. But I'm more grateful for the time with my people, because at the very end of the day, that's what matters more.
