Ring in the new year my ass.

The last thing I wanted to do was ring in the new year at Soldier Field, but the NFL in it's money grubbing attitude has said screw the fans and is playing a mostly meaningless Packers Bears game. So I am NOT going to the game and have distributed my tickets to a worthy client. This is breaking a long standing tradition of my son and I attending the Packers game but neither of us is willing to give up a new Year's Eve celebration.

I have to say that the flex schedule has been a success this year, but more thought should have been put into New Year's Eve night games.

In honor of President Ford this flag will fly at half staff for 30 days.
