Sunday afternoon I was glued to a tv during some of our free time during the past weekend’s Winter Retreat we held for KC area Sr. Highers. I was watching a great game between the Colts and Steelers. Broncos fans everywhere will sympathize with my reasons for rooting for either team. On the one hand if the Colts won our dear Broncos would have a chance to avenge two years of humiliation at the hands of the Colts, if on the other hand the Steelers won we’d get another game at home in Mile High stadium. I suppose that having another home game is more important than settling old scores, and little did I know at the time how I would benefit from the Steelers pounding of Peyton.

My friend Rusty called me towards the end of the Steelers/Colts game and asked if I wanted to try with him to get tickets online to the AFC title game in Denver if the Steelers were able to pull it off. “Of course!” I said, and just a few hours later we were both on ticketmaster.com trying to get tickets. There were only 15,000 available at that time, and many were being sold at Mile High stadium to a long line of fans. But somehow we got lucky enough to get two tickets in that online sale, and now we’re making a little roadtrip to Denver this weekend to see the Broncos take on the Steelers. What a weekend!
