SEAHAWKS WIN!!!

Oh ya baby! What a game that was!!!!  Woo Hoo!!!

Random Thought

Will the Seahawks prevail against the New Orleans Saints?  Tick Tock.  Time will tell.

Useless Information

Today is all about football.  Of course I'm an avid fan of the NFL and my Seattle Seahawks but even "I" will be checking in to see if the Roughriders can right their wrong in last year's Grey Cup.  It should be a great battle...or at least...one can hope. *s*  I'm On Call this weekend so I'm counting on everyone else watching football and NOT calling because they are unable to connect to work via their VPN.  *fingers crossed* 

It's Sunday

'That means it's football time...NFL style. *s* I actually did catch some CFL football playoff action yesterday. Sadly both teams I was routing for lost. I am hoping my Seahawks can give me an entertaining game. The season is a right off but I would still love to see them snatch some wins. It will be another tough one against Arizona though.

I didn't really watch the Oilers game last night but I see after checking the scores they lost in a shootout. Talk about another disappointing season for my team. *shrug* I guess there is always next year.

An Era Ends

Tonight the New York Yankee's will play their last home game at Yankee Stadium. The city of New York wants their land and plan on tearing down the 85 year old icon to develop...well who knows what. The new stadium is just an eye shot away. It is definitely a trend in North America to tear down older buildings and start from scratch. We are nothing like European countries...albeit we are much younger in nature. We don't give ourselves a chance to have that old time feeling because frankly, we don't really build structures to withstand the swift hands of time or should I say the swift hands of the guy with the most money. It goes right along with North American mentality really. The VCR breaks? Toss it and upgrade to the newest Blu-Ray disc player is what most say. Old buildings are the same. They don't get more beautiful with age...they become the back drop in low income neighborhoods. I may watch a bit of the ball game tonight. Just because maybe there is a part of me that is a bit nostalgic.

Note: For the first time in 13 years the Yankees have not made it to the playoffs. A sign of things to come? Perhaps.

Raptors preseason plans include Edmonton

Although I'm not a huge NBA fan I would love to see this pre-season game between the Toronto Raptors and the Denver Nuggets. I did go to the only other game that was here way back in 99' and thoroughly enjoyed it. The game is going to be on October 21 at Rexall Place. Hmm...I wonder if I can score some birthday tickets??? Dare to dream Arnold...dare to dream.

Get Fit!

Getting in shape doesn't always have to seem like work. That's why we picked this puppy up today for the lovely price of $19.99 at Sportchek. I am really trying to stay motivated at being more active and of course...eating better. Now that summers here we can pop down to the ball diamond that's kitty corner to our high rise condo here and play some badminton or volleyball! That's one BIG yard that I don't have to weed or mow. I love it! *s* We actually have two good badminton racquet's but we needed a net. This little kit had everything and the price was right. Can't wait to try it out but it may not be tonight. We are still so sore from our killer stairs workout on Saturday. I think lunging for a shuttlecock may be asking too much at this point.
