A Religious New Year’s Eve Weekend
Thursday, January 4th, 2007This year’s New Year’s Eve celebrations fell on a Sunday night/Monday morning. The weekend events had a very religious aura. On Friday, December 29th, President Ford died at the age of 93. It was not unexpected, but it did seem to cause a surprising surge of national introspection, particularly in Washington. Too bad the city’s memory will be so short. On Monday, one of the greatest football games ever played was enjoyed by sports fans, except by those from Oklahoma. It was particularly enjoyed by those of us in the Intermountain West. While President Ford wouldn’t have enjoyed the Rose Bowl game, I’m certain he would have enjoyed the Fiesta Bowl game.
