Super Bowl Prediction Smack-Down

This is where we all post our predictions about the score of the game.

Please refrain from any strategic moves and vote what you actually believe in your heart of hearts will be the final score. I cynically predict utter dominance by the team I hate most in the NFL right now. I will be happy to be proven wrong. Sadly, as I indicated last night I won't be able to make the first half of the game, but Jackie and I will be dropping by some time in the middle of the Eagles half-time medley. The tiebreaker is to predict the total number of yards by both teams combined. Five dollars each in the pot.

New England Patriots 40 New York Giants 7.
725 yards total offense.

SND does the Super Bowl

Well last night was simply divine - good to have SND back and in full swing.

So let's discuss the Super Bowl. I'll definitely do homemade guacamole and chips, and probably chips and onion dip. And maybe chocolate chip cookies too.

Let me know what you'd like to make/buy for the occasion.

State of the SND

Beginning to feel as if this is my own personal blog, but... are we doing dinner this Sunday? Or is SND, like, so 2007?

Save the date

Wanted to just pass this along to you before I email the non-SND crowd: next Thursday, the 24th, I'm having my annual drinks and cupcakes gathering at Keybar. You can call it a birthday thing, or you can call it a celebration of the most depressing day of the year - whichever. Would love to see you all there.

SNDers in the news

Many thanks to Brekke, who helped me with my gender-divide-in-the-workplace story. Of course, I originally wanted to write it about the detrimental nature of gender stereotypes in the office... and somehow it ended up massaged into this. Ah, journalism. Still: tasty quotes from Ms. Fletcher.

OUR NON-SND, NON-GOLDEN GLOBES EVENT

This Sunday will be held in a non-formal capacity (those who are rules-obsessed may determine whether this is officially an SND or not...) at Brekke's. Dips will be involved. David Chalian, fresh from his whirlwind primary tour, will also be involved. Come over and dip and complain about the lack of red-carpet tackiness starting at 7pm.

MLK WEEKEND

Hi all -

It's been a little quiet on the SND blog in the new year - so it's time to ramp it up a notch!

Nathaniel and I would like to go up to the farmhouse next weekend for the holiday - and we would love for SND to join us. The current plan is to go up on Sat 1/19 and return on Monday 1/21. It's very close - just a little over a 2 hour drive - and there's plenty of room. The flies seem to have all but disappeared (but don't quote me on that).

Here's what I know: Claude is not in town. Mustafa plans to join us...

...which leaves Brekke, Sara, Jackie and Kyle. Let us know what you're thinking! Come on - don't be shy and don't make excuses!

Golden Globes have been cancelled

or so I am hearing. So it looks like I am free this Sunday for regular SND. Claudia - your dips will have to be saved for another day!

Brekke and Kyle - I hope you both are feeling better.

Oh and I wanted to post last night's quote of the evening. It came from Nathaniel - but I am having trouble remembering it. Anyone?

Bar Toto this Sunday?

Hey everyone...

Reposting my suggestion for our first 2008 SND: Bar Toto. Here is the link.
