Mother-centric reflections and POLL on Rivertown life and the fun of everything surrounding the Super Bowl.
I can look at football, but I can't see it. I may seem to be staring at the flatscreen high-def TV, but ask me anything about the game – the score, a huge play that just happened, which team is which – and I'm a total blank. However, I can talk about the Super Bowl's naked M&M commercial, the unflattering way football players' butts are packed into shiny tights, my aversion to concussion-seeking sports, how Madonna miraculously blasted back into the innards of the stage or shattered into anti-matter or worm-holed herself into another dimension in the name of World Peace or whatever the heck happened to her. Has anyone seen Madonna since? Should we be worried? This may be the first Game in my lifetime, no joke, that I've ever gone out …

The following was submitted by Lesli Uribe, a skateboarding mom: The skateboarding scene may reverberate as an off beat subculture sport. But, interpretations can often be misguided when blinded by a fashion statement or an attitude. My son Lucas stepped on our neighbors’ skateboard at age 5. My knee jerk reaction was to panic. After suiting him up with all the protective armor, I finally breathed a little easier. His enthusiasm was so primal. His passion was so contagious that even I became addicted to the skateboarding scene. No matter what park we went to, Lucas was welcomed by every senior skater, teaching him the tricks, the maneuvers and the essential skateboarding etiquette. He became a brother in the skate fraternity. For years, we…
