Well I will ask her that question tomorrow closer to the game, and we’ll see 
what she’ll say.  For Super Bowl she said “I’ll try Seattle.”  Well Seattle got 
the job done.  I asked her if she was sure about that, and she held firm on it. 
 

She picked Greenbay earlier this year against Bears too.  She’s not really a 
Greenbay fan either, more a Bears fan, but she just went by her instinct, and 
usually that is right if she just listens to them.  

Perhaps back when she was healthy thats why she was such a good instigator.  Or 
maybe that was just another natural talent of her’s *lol*.  

We’ve seen little signs of the instigator coming back this year occasionally, 
combined with very dry humor.  We still haven’t gotten her to belly laugh yet.  
I agree with that one therapist, when we get that to happen we will have won 
the battle and a good part of the war, but in our 5th year still haven’t gotten 
there yet.  She’s getting stronger, but still not quite to that point yet.
