I have lived in the Falls since 1968. My great-great grandfather was one of the village founders. I have served the community in multiple ways: Firefighter, various boards and commissions and for many years was president of the Falls Cable Access Corp. Currently I own, and am active in, a restaurant equipment manufacturing company.
I started writing this blog just before the superbowl halftime. Maybe it's because it is mid-winter and I was having a down day. I was penning notes on a lackluster game and yawning.
I had been unimpressed with some of the commercials as well, perhaps because so many had been released on internet beore the game
Particularly bad were the movie commercials that ended with several frames of film production credits. A half second or less flash of 25 or 30 lines of text cannot possibly sell even one ticket.
The commercial I liked best was a CBS promotion for David Letterman's Late Show.
Nevertheless, the second half of the game was a spectacular turnaround - thrilling right up to the end. Too many times in my life I have turned off games that seemed dull just to miss the best parts. I'm glad that I didn't this time.
