You are confirmed (incl. 1 high chair) for Superbowl

That's a paraphrase of the reservation confirmation Karina forwarded to me this afternoon. It is awesome on several levels.

1) We've found a place showing the Super Bowl Monday morning here in Singapore

2) Our Super Bowl party will be breakfast at a place called Brewerkz

3) Dewi gets to partake in a Super Bowl party before her first birthday

I can hardly believe that my hometown team actually made it all the way to the Super Bowl this season. It was a little more difficult to follow the Pack during my years in DC, because the local airwaves were dedicated to Redskins mediocrity. But I've been a dedicated fan since the 3rd grade, and so I didn't give up on this season, even as they fell to 8-6 with two games to play, and I was in the process of packing up my life and relocating to the other side of the world. Since that time, they've won five straight games, and I've learned that through the magic of Skype, a webcam, and my dad's TV in Brown Deer, I can watch the games online (desperate times...)

Anyway, we quickly realized that out of the three of us, Dewi is the only one with Packer gear here, thanks to Uncle Greg's great find of a tiny Aaron Rodgers jersey. I give Karina credit for trying to figure out whether or not we'd have enough time to order something online for ourselves and get it delivered to Singapore before kickoff. I had some long sleeve shirts that just didn't make the cut since our average day time temp hovers in the 80s. At worst, we may just dig out some Brewers jerseys that we did bring along, so we can rep Wisconsin, and, by extension, the Pack. I don't get homesick very often, but without my Super Bowl breakfast to look forward to, Chinese New Year aside, I think next weekend would have been a long, sad weekend for me. So thank you, American-themed restaurant, satellite television, and 13 hour time difference, for converging in such a beautiful way. If Notre Dame makes it to a BCS Bowl next year, I will need to call on you again.
