Oh god ,this morning I crave a proper Aussie breakfast .To have a plate with real bacon , round included and for it not to be smoked ,sweetened and sliced razor thin …Please ..I’ll have two poached or fried eggs ,a hash brown or home made rosti ,grilled tomato ,mushrooms,small breakfast sausage ,all sitting on wholemeal or seeded or sourdough toast that is completely unsweetened and with a tangy chutney on the side to mix with my tomato sauce ,plus a proper cappuccino to wash it down ..that’s all . It’s Super Bowl Sunday , it reminds me of Grand final day in Melbourne .I always liked a big brekky on Granny day ,it set you up for a big day on the sauce ( beer ) . The problem with the Super Bowl is that it’s played on Sunday . The Monday after Super Bowl is the largest absentee day for work in the US . Some 17 million pull a sickie the day after Super Bowl . Could we some how shift Martin Luther king day back 2 weeks or bring the Bowl forward ? Cause I can tell you, yesterday’s Super Bowl damn near killed me today . Working as a therapist in a gym with a savage hangover was fucking painful . This has to be fixed . 
I was already in the doghouse as I was told off by Emma and my own son ( Tex) for being too drunk and for being a nuisance. It would get worse ,adding to an already throbbing earache that bobbed up the very same time the previous year ,plus the hangover chiming in I couldn’t unlock my car , somehow the remote had gone flat and my key wouldn’t turn the handle .I had to take Emma’s car as she was staying home with Leroy who wasn’t feeling well .I was to come home early so we could swap . By the time I dropped Tex off to school I had already told him to “go and get fucked ” after we bickered about everything . It would get worse . With seconds to spare I got to work and used the bathroom , the night before had churned the gut up big time . It was here I made the next blunder , I had unwittingly dropped the phone out of my back pocket . It had silently slid out and shifted under the toilet , resting out of sight against the back wall . What are the odds? It would take 2 agonising hours of frantic searching ,with Emma using a ping on my phone that eventually alerted a maintenance guy to reach under and find it . By now everyone knew I’d lost it having a shit ……fucking great . On the way home my usual route had road works , we were detoured into a nearby estate . This is what makes Emma and I laugh about road works over here ; there’s often little forewarning ( admittedly there was today ,but I forgot ) , the signage usually bobs up too late and traps you , today the detour just deposited you into a side road but then there wasn’t another sign to guide you back out onto the other side of the road works . I got fucken lost , didn’t I ? I then went to google maps but my phone shut down with low battery . No …… I’m over this shit … 15 minutes of extra driving would see me home just in time , but not before I said the word ‘ fuck ‘ an extra 100 times .
Nate Florey …. what a bloke ( guy) . He loves to entertain , loves to bbq and loves to host .Whats even better was that he was throwing a Super Bowl party at his house , just 100 meters from our joint ….perfect . With a major park opposite the lane way that Nate had been able to block with council permission , ( yes you can do stuff like that over here …love it ) ,it was perfectly located for the kids to play while the adults …..play . 
A pig on a spit , a marquee , basketball hoop , multiple backyards and garages opened with big screens , ice coolers , kegs , you named it and it was there . 
Finally the game …… thank good we had something to cheer about . It looked like a lot of big sporting events , the the tougher ,defensively minded team slowly grinding the agile young talented opposition into suffocating defeat ….and then it changed . The young dawg ( my man ) Mahomes turned it on it’s head . Before I know it I’m yahooing and being a lot more boisterous than I probably wanted to …6+ IPAs will do that to you and with a gripping finish I was downing amber ale at top speed . It would catchup ……I’m now paying the price. Super Bowl 2020 ,the best big day I’ve been to so far …thanks Nate……..get me some ibuprofen.
