Not the best of games from an entertainment standpoint but an absolute defensive masterclass by Belichick and the Pats.

Yes - if nothing else it was an excuse to make guacamole and margaritas. I don’t much care for Tom Brady, but will grudgingly acknowledge that he is pretty good at his job.

I drank Coors Banquet (left over from the Cobra Kai drinking game). 

American Football is too messy compared with soccer. For example, in American Football it's impossible to see the ball among all those firm buttocks  entwined, sweaty bodies players.

I wouldn't know what was happening if it wasn't for my favourite barrista plant milk's producer commercial: starring the CEO of Oatly

BTW, there's no better butt shaping sport than cross-country skiing (classic style).

And few outfits better than a XC ski racing suit to show it off!

My favourite løype, annenhver dag. I'm not a human person anymore - just an XC body :-)
I started beating big guys uphill - friction is in my favour. Sadly, air resistance sabotages me downhill.
Planning some big hills for tomorrow. I hope my XC knee will survive it.

BTW, almost always when I pass a hytta, there is an owl sitting on the top of a tree waiting for a snack peepping out its snout.

This is like one of the most misleading thread titles ever, but I’m deeply impressed! I guess I had placed you in or close to Lommedalen based on your power outage report a few weeks ago (it was very local), but you certainly picked a good winter to embrace the spirit of langrenn.

That socialist bias of yours. I love it (of course).
