It is Super Bowl Sunday. An unofficial end to the Holiday Season for some. It is the time that we see the newest commercials for television. It is a time to get a great deal on an HDTV is you need one. It is the time for putting the New Year’s diet on hold for a day.  It is also the time for a football game, oh yeah, that is what today is all about or use to be. It is now the day of the Puppy Bowl and the Kitten Bowl. It is a day for Hollywood and Advertising. It is a day for Beer Companies and Chicken Wings, oh and Pizza.  By the way, there still is a football game to be play by men who have dreamed of this game for most of their lives. The 120 or so men on both teams are in the middle of the best dream. They are playing in the Super Bowl and the winner will be the Champions of the NFL. World Champions! Enjoy the game, be safe and don’t forget, one of these men get to say “I’m going to Disney World!” tonight.

Did you ever play “tag” when you were a child? Some may have called it “IT.” That was some much fun, the rules were simple. “Your it. No your it. He is it. She is it” Those were the phrases heard from the play ground. Well, now some school districts are banning the game. No more “tag” on the playground. The reasons have to do with not wanting accidents and the liability issue. Schools are worried about getting sued. Now why would some parent want to take a school or their staff to court because of the game of Tag. So far the game has not been blamed for mental issues. Wait… Maybe I should take a look at it. This could be a therapeutic questions in counseling. “So tell me, Did you play tag growing up? Are you still it?... I think we have found your problem.” Outlawing tag, what is next? Redefining what constitutes a hug? Oh, sorry, that has already been done. I think I have a solution. We could have children play tag on XBOX or Playstation. Of course, we keep redefining play on the play...
