This is important stuff, Karel. This weekend American football games will be played which will decide who plays in the Super Bowl on February 5. One of the games will be played about 30 miles from me 'twixt the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania) Steelers. This is a big event here as Tom Brady, the Patriots star player, better known outside the US as the husband of supermodel Gisele Bundchen, continues the Drive For Five (championships during his tenure). The opponent is based in Pensylvania where Ernie and two of his sons attended school, so it seemed likely that Ernie might be a fan, though he lives in New Jersey which does not have a team, unless you count the two New York teams which play their home games in New Jersey.

Louetta, my sincere thanks for the information, especially your mention that this is important stuff. I will be guided by you and treat it as such, or rather, try to, as just knowing that something is important is never enough.

I am pleased, Karel, at your positive attitude toward our sporting interests. Europeans, I gather, are just as enthusiastic about their sports as we are about ours. I regularly correspond with friends in the UK (I realize you are in The Netherlands) who regularly repair to public houses on weekends to drink stout and watch football, albeit the kind we call soccer. Personally I never grew fond of stout but I do enjoy soccer and there are a lot less commercials.

The Netherlands, indeed. (bows.) I like stout, but don’t drink it often. Currently the beer of the house is Augustiner (Lagerbier Hell) and Paulaner Weizenbier. I used to like soccer but the rise of the professional foul put me off. (That was decades ago.) Speed skating was a favorite and now cycling (one day classics and the Tour de France especially). Summer, watching a cycle tour and wheat beer go remarkably well together. And yes, I am considering a PotY.

Under the category "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread", I cannot comprehend why this conversation is taking place at all. Mimo, didn't you WIN??? Why are you sounding like a .... loser?

It is OK. This was a publicity stunt for the contest to get everyone out of the woods to join in on the discussion.

Hi Blindsquirrel,

Are you going to keep this pick or you going to pick a stock under $10.00? Please let me know.

[JohnHenry]

Sorry...I didn't read the part about the stock price having to be greater than $10. I'll go with REN instead of FNHM

Hi Mrmarket,

Not a problem. Will you be keeping your original pick, FNHM? Please let me know.

[jiesen]

JH, please put me down for CERS. I think it should be a $10 stock before too long.

[JohnHenry]

OK, nine days left. Get your picks in. One cent, 10 cents, one dollar, 10 dollars, 100 dollars, 1,000 dollars, etc. it does not matter.
