It would have been a complete analogy IF the Packers had won. It still turned out to be an exceptional fun time for Tom and me.
I remember a children's director in a former church saying :"Anticipation is at least half the fun of doing something." Once we realized we would be moving to the Green Bay area, going to a Packers game moved up high on the bucket list. When I realized that they were playing San Francisco, my hope rose that we could get tickets since Tom grew up in that area.
Once I was able to get tickets and surprise Tom with them for his birthday, we have looked forward to the big game! We hit perfect weather and great seats, one rung up near the 40 yard line. Since we were able to get the tickets exchanged for the handicapped area, we had a lot of room around us.
The sun was bright throughout most of the game. I have no desire to go in the frozen tundra we are known to play in around here.
The team spirit was infectious, though admittedly subdued through most of the game as SF played textbook football and the Packers scrambled to try to keep up. With eight minutes left in the game, there was a great surge of excitement and HOPE - diminished again unfortunately with the 30-22 finish as you all already know.
But - it was a lot of fun participating with the world's best football fans! It was almost like kids in a candy store.
