OK - this is going to be quick as I'm preparing for the Super Bowl tomorrow...OK, that's not actually true. Truth be told I'm barely a football fan. My last memory of really enjoying a football game was the 1991 playoffs when the Giants - OK at least I am partial to them - were in the Super Bowl against, I believe, the Buffalo Bills. That was the year they won despite losing Phil Simms when a little know subbing quarterback named Jeff Hostetler helped them do it. I actually remember celebrating at was then, the hub of my life. It was a little Chinese restaurant on the East Side of New York named Billy Tso's - better known as Billys. My guess is that it's not even there anymore - I'm not sure as I rarely have reason to be in the mid-40s in East New York. OK - I'll check (a.k.a. as Google it)- nope, not there. That does remind me; however, that it was around the corner from another one of the oldest Chinese Restaurants - and I'm not just saying this - was the one that the infamous Hop Sing Restaurant that figured prominently in a Senifeld episode with Ned the Communist.

OK - so, I've massively digressed. Did someone say this was supposed to be a running blog. OK, this was all to distract that today wasn't terribly interesting but I did have a nice run. I was trying out a new pair of running shoes which I was so pleasantly surprised loved. If you're a fan of this whole minimalist or at least semi-minimalist thing, Brooks has a line of shoes they call the Pure Project. Full disclosure, my absolute favorites and the only shoes I've been loyal to are Newtons (but we'll talk about them another time). Anyway, this Brooks line is very cool - light but with the slightest bit of cushioning. I happen to buy their trail shoe and was really excited to hit what I thought was going to be some trail. Ended up that there wasn't much more than about a mile and a half of trail so the rest was "pure" pavement. These shoes ended up having such a nice indescribable push that gave a great ride. Also pushed myself a bit further than the last five days and did a well paced four miles. Really a pleasant surprise with some shoes I was really thinking of returning. By the way, if you're still searching for that perfect running store, I have really become a fan of Road Runner Sports. While they do have retail stores, there aren't any in NYC or close. But I buy online and they have amazing customer service that includes a very liberal 60 day return policy. They were amazing recently when I asked if they would take back a pair of shoes I've had for about 120 days that actually developed a tear on the inseam. No problem. Definitely worth checking out. Lots of VIP specials too- it cost 10 bucks a year to be a vip and you get it back in Spades.

So that was today. Well, I've set myself up well for some trivia. First off, I'm not bringing up this new Seinfeld Superbowl Ad- honestly not so crazy about it. But, there is an episode where the Super Bowl figures in prominently. This is a multi-part question. Jerry gets tickets to the Super Bowl. Does he go? Who else gets possession of the tickets? Do they go? What gift item figures into the story. Your really thinking about this when you should be getting ready for your party? OK...GO GIANTS (no really, I mean it)...
