I think I've seen enough commercials, and I don't follow football.  I can go to a Super Bowl party, but I wonder what opportunities I'm passing up.

Are there places that are usually crowded, but won't be, because of the big game?

Could I go to a bar with no TV, and find it full of lonely women, because all the men are watching the big game?

It's going to be a beautiful, 73-degree day outside.  I wonder what else I could do...

Go wander around town to places that are usually busy (the mall comes to mind reeeeal quick), and enjoy the wonder of what the city looks like when it's almost deserted.

Except, at the mall, I'll be the only one upon whom the cell phone vendors will descend.

I don't get this, because while the malls I visit are full of cellphone vendors, I am not ever addressed by them. The trick is to have a cellphone that you're happy with and never take an interest in cellphone accessories.

Last year during the superbowl, I went to Costco, which was largely deserted. I've also been to the movies, which had about half the crowds as is usual for a Sunday afternoon.

Year before last, I think I baked bread all day. It was nice.

I don't have a cellphone, and they can smell it. What they can't smell is that I don't want a cellphone either... or they just don't care, because they assume I want to have my mind changed, I just don't know that I want my mind changed yet. I have since learned to ward them off by walking around with a surly expression when I go to the mall. This is quite easy to accomplish, since I hate the mall.

I have often enjoyed the experience of shopping in the city when everyone else is home watching TV.

Of course, it will NOT be a beautiful 73-degree day here, so this year I'll probably pass.
