as i mentioned yesterday, the weather sunday is supposed to be in the single digits in green bay (it’s up to 5 degrees for a high now).
reminds me of how cold i was four years ago — jan. 4, 2004, at the seattle-green bay playoff game (i went with my husband, below). that day, it was 20 degrees, with a wind chill of 7.
man, even though you’re packed tight in that stadium and bundled to the max, it still feels good to go to the bathroom, where there are major heat vents blasting down on you.
p.s. it did snow that night, just like it did saturday.

You may have seen Sister Sean Marie Tobin at mid field Saturday for the coin toss before the Packers-Seahawks game. Wondering why she was there? Well, through an essay contest, she won the opportunity to participate in the coin toss.
And she had some words for Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck (who famously called out at a coin toss four years ago that the Seahawks would get the ball and score): “I just said today the ball is ours. You’re not going to get it, Matt,” she said. “That tickled Favre, and he got this big grin.”
Read more in Jim Stingl’s column or on the Franciscan Sisters blog. Pictures of Sister Sean Marie are there, too.
