Psychic, psychotic, psyched, take your pick, I’m going with psyched, as in I’m really psyched about Michigan State’s chances tonight, but if things don’t go all that well for the Spartans, then I might end up experiencing a psychotic episode. That would not be good. I would be all nervous, jittery and crazy eyed, like Jimmy Stewart gets in It’s a Wonderful Life. That movie is on tonight and will be our go to emergency escape route if thing do go south tonight for State in the Big Ten Championship, but I have a feeling. Call me psychic if you want, but I have a premonition that MSU will pull a win out of its hat, in one of those fantastic last minute finishes that have marked all the other important football games so far this season. Consider that prediction as your psychic reading.
Victory for MSU!!!
So many parallels that evening. Watching and rooting MSU on to victory. And since I was under the weather, as soon as the game was over I excused myself up to the upper sanctum, where TV is limited to antenna. But the antenna was picking up the Wonderful Life. Which I watched until I fell asleep (about the time Clarence shows up). Sleep was probably more important, and the movie provided a wonderful segue into dreamland.
I was going to run down to the end of the block to our new local psychic shop and get a picture for this comment, but the psychic sign was gone, and only the purple neon ring around the window remains.
