Today was a big day.
Michigan played Ohio State, number 2 v. number 1, to a much anticipated, much hyped event. Never before had this rivalry met with such status at stake. Famed U of M coach Bo Schembechler's death could be matched by no other as a prelude to the enormity of the event.
Alas, the game did not end well for poor Michigan.
But even as the Wolverines struggled to regain the lead, Penelope took an important step. Today, of all day, she learned to walk.
Cheers could be heard throughout our house for most of the afternoon, for one reason or another.
But take heart Michigan fans, Penelope was born on the day of a very important match-up between the Steelers and the Colts. Steve was heartbroken when his second daughter's birth preceded an enormous loss by just a few hours.
But the Steelers went on to win the Super Bowl. Which means what?
It seems to mean Penelope's accomplishments are measured by the success or failure of sports teams. And what does that mean?
Maybe it says we watch too much football.
