Old State House

This Saturday, I went to soak up a little Connecticut history at the historic old statehouse. This is not something everyone would like, but for me it was neat to learn about some of the history of Hartford and Connecticut. It turns out one of the reasons that the insurance industry is so big in Hartford is because it grew out of a desire to protect trade from the Connecticut River. Like I said, probably not too interesting to most people other than me.

In the State House, I got to see the Old State Senate, and the city council chamber. All very neat.

I also found out that the New York Rangers have a farm team around these parts. Games end in April, but it might be fun to go to one.

Superbowl Weekend

It's the biggest football game of the year this Sunday.

I pretty much have to at least watch one quarter... everyone is going to be talking about it on Monday.

The Bears against the Colts.

I have no idea which team is better, nor do I care who wins. So obviously I'm not watching for the game itself. I guess I could watch for the commercials. I read this year that it's going to cost 2.6 Million dollars for a 30 second commercial.

Who plans to watch the game tomorrow? Bears or Colts, who's your favourite?
