Mrs. Blackman can't understand that watching the Chicago Bears game on Monday night is more important than reading two or three chapters of The Red Badge of Courage. Does she sincerely believe that I would sit down at 8:00 pm kickoff time and read some book about a war that happened before my Great-Grandparents were born? She says it's historic. Well, I can't think of anything more historic than what's to come on Monday night. I'll bet 90% of us will be watching this Super Bowl run. I suppose, however, that Mrs. Blackman is one of the 10% who believes that the world doesn't stop for football.
