Thanks to my brother Johnny I was able to get tickets to see the recent Thursday night game between the Seahawks and the 49ers in QWest field. The Hawks had a chance to clinch the division and stay in the running for a good playoff seed but failed on both tasks with a very poor performance. You can clearly see the distress if the situation on the face of my game buddy Mike Walton. Luckily there were a few beers to be had, as evidenced by the slightly goofy look on the face of one Stacey Terry and good times were still had by all. There was a HUGE storm that night as we all ran through the monsoon to see the game, nice for us that most of the really crazy stuff held off during the game. It has however placed a slight wrinkle in the local Seattle environment with lots of black-outs and the like with the associated school closures and such. I am getting ready to make finish up final holiday shopping and such this weekend and get the last items on my list. I have not done too badly this year and look forward to some holiday time with the Weaver parents as well as Janelle's parents in Porch Orchard, WA. I leave you with this landscape picture showing off the great seats we always get through John as the Sea Gals show off their holiday routine with some really silly giant, foam candy canes as props. Does anyone else groan when they hear "Santa-baby" during the holidays? Good times none-the-less and more to come as we gear up for the main event. Bring on the Bearded Fat Elf in the crazy red suit!!!!
