Playoffs? Are you kiddin' me? They matter in our home.

Playoff standings matter not just because we're Packers fans, but because Chuck's workload and work schedule and potential travel schedule all depend on the playoff picture. He and his boss have become regular visitors to NFL.com to see the playoff pictures develop. Now that the postseason is finally here, we've bought our chips and pizzas and we're ready to watch the game. I mean, now that postseason is finally here, the folks in Television Land are working out the possibilities and charging up the camera batteries.

With a win, the big, bold men in Green and Gold will stay in the running to play a second game. This game could be in Minnesota or possibly at home against Dallas. Sorry, Philadelphia fans; I feel your pain. I do.
The location of the next game matters because Chuck's station would send him to the Metrodome with the satellite truck to cover pre- and post-game shows. If the game happens in Dallas, they'll get their video from a Dallas station. If it's played in Lambeau Field, he'll have to work, but he call stay at home instead of hitting the road.

But then....then what? I'm glad you asked. If Aaron Rodgers calmly leads his team to Miami for the Main Event, my dear husband (bless his heart) will have to drive the station's satellite truck to Florida to cover not only the Super Bowl and the build-up, but the Pro Bowl as well. He could be away as long as three weeks, perhaps more.

On the positive side, I plan on sending a Flat Stanley with him. My class will love it.

On the negative side, it'll be lonely around here with just me and Amigo. La Petite will be back at school, very likely hosting her own Super Bowl party, faithful cheesehead that she is.

If the Packers (gulp) don't win, Chuck may have to change an appointment on Tuesday in order to help record the coach's show. It would be a minor inconvenience.

But we won't talk about the L word. Go Pack Go!!
