Several parties for the National Football League’s big stage are planned for this Sunday.Some folks – yours truly included – have already sent in their RSVP to a Super Bowl bash at the home of a friend or family member.I’ll be going to the Brookside home of Kurt, who is a longtime friend from my old south Stockton neighborhood. He and his brother-in-law Randy have been hosting this Super Bowl party for years.This is usually the only time of the year that I’ll see my brother Pete outside of our family functions. Chances are that when I arrive he’ll be in the middle of a poker game, talking loud among his buddies with a cold beer by his side, not to mention a stack of chips.
