It's going to be a pretty full weekend for @mrsbozz and I over the next couple of days. We were supposed to be hitting the road about halfway through the day today to head down to Ohio to watch our niece play in one of her last basketball games of the season, but somewhere along the line schedules got mixed up and that isn't the case anymore.

Instead, we will be watching the game from the comfort of our house via streaming service. Assuming the camera is still actually up and working. We have actually been pretty lucky that the last couple of games worked as normal, but I know we are dealing with borrowed time at this point.

Then, on Saturday morning instead of sleeping until whenever in my warm comfy bed, I am going to be getting up at 4:00 AM so we can drive to the next city over and pick up my niece. Then we need to jump on I-75 South and drive the hour and a half to Pontiac, MI where she is participating in a volleyball tournament for most of the day.

It's not the weekend we originally had planned, but I am still not mad about it. I enjoy watching her play and tournaments like this usually go by pretty quickly and have lots of activity for those who enjoy the sport and people watching.

The only bad thing about the tournament is the fact that I will likely miss the Michigan State basketball game at noon on Saturday. I might have to make sure my cell phone is charge up so I can watch it on YouTube TV. That is if it is even available on YouTube TV. The past couple of games have only been available on the Peacock streaming service as I mentioned in another post.

The goal is to get us home before the snow really starts to fall on Saturday night. Right now they are calling for a significant amount of snowfall between Saturday night and Sunday. With a range between 1 and 4 inches, significant is a relative word, but we will see what happens.

Then of course on Sunday night, we have the Superbowl live from New Orleans. I really don't have a vested interest in the game, but I have made it pretty clear that I am absolutely cheering for Philly in this one. Anyone but KC seems to be the mantra across much of the country right now.

Fun fact, I saw an article the other day that Taylor Swift isn't sure she should attend the Superbowl because she doesn't want her presence to take away from the game. A little cocky for sure, but she has a point. How many people suddenly care about football solely because of her?

What a world we live in huh?!
