Another fun-filled week in the Emerald City. This last round of sports went quite well as we had a double-header in soccer versus the next 2 best teams in the league record-wise. We had a hard-fought 2-2 tie and a 13-10 win in a finale for the night. The only bummer was the fact that my bro tweaked his knee once again that night on a hard tackle. He has his Dr.'s appointment this week and I am keeping my fingers crossed for the best news possible. Thursday in coed 6's volleyball we had our buddy Alan Wittren from our USAV men's team fill in for John in a fun-filled match as we went 2-1 and have the first place seed going into the tournament for that league. We were also able to get all 4 of our Sunday night match to continue our newly-acquired lead there as well. This last weekend we had a men's USAV tournament in the Portland, OR area. Our improvement continue as we finished 3rd of the 11 teams in the AA/A bracket and knocked out another of the top OR-based teams in the elimination rounds. Good way to end the day. We proceeded to hurry from there back north to the Bellevue gym for league play and finished 3-1 versus one of the other tough teams in the league to finish the night. I am also working a little each day to get my new condo I am sharing with Janelle into shape. We are looking to add a desk to our furniture for the computer gear that we currently have and another bookcase so that we can fit all of our massive book collection into the space without having just packed boxes piled on the side. Some pictures included here of the gorgeous cherry tree in bloom right outside our balcony window. Also you can clearly see that our cat Missy is making herself right at home in the new place and even comes pre-packaged, sealed for freshness!! Crazy feline to be sure but she seems to fit well with us and we have really enjoyed having her around since the end of last summer. This week I have another round of indoor soccer and the start of the coed 6's volleyball elimination rounds. I also have tix for a concert this coming Saturday as we go see a local favorite, the Paperboys for their annual St. Patty's Day event at the Showbox in downtown Seattle. I also am helping to plan the next indoor men's event in the region on Sunday, March 25th. We are hoping to build off of our success in the last Seattle event and have been really pleased with were we have been headed to date, just really seem to be gaining momentum. So long for now and more to come!!
