I titled a post a few days ago “What sort of league is this?”, today the league office answered that. They are a league that wants to protect it’s players. The league delivered a message today when it handed Mullan a 10 game ban and a $5000 fine. Playing the player rather than the ball is unacceptable, keep the game clean. The 10 game suspension…
It’s raining out but…
Another interesting day, full of “WTF… Really?” conversations. One thing I do know is that my life is rarely boring. There are some people who are looking increasingly desperate; it’s interesting to watch. Now, if you will excuse me I’m going to have some fun tonight.
Then Dark Mindless Void…
Today largely writes itself. I got to spend an hour or so in the Department of Motor Vehicles licencing (DMV) office in Everett. It was time to renew my driving license, and for a number of reasons I had to do it in person this time. For my non-American friends a Washington State drivers licence expires every five years. At that time I have to…
What sort of league is this?
Brian Mullen’s punishment for breaking Steve Zakuani’s leg could be announced today, tomorrow at the latest. Here is what I see, it was a full bloodied, red mist induced tackle. Looking at the replays Mullen led with his feet and went in to send a message. There was incidental contact with the ball, but I stand by the incidental part of that statement. It was…
Are you serious?
The are moments when I am handed gifts that make me go “WTF… Are you serious?” Well, today I got a couple of those in my e-mail. First is the email that arrived this evening that the author ended “LMAO”. Apparently my ex posted a personal ad on the internet with the phrase “no strings attached” in it. Yes I’m sure I’m going to be…
As requested…
This weekend I got introduced to Flower World near Snohomish, it was rather fun wandering around getting advise on what to plant and when it would flower. It’s so much better than the garden section at Lowes, not to knock Lowes too much but this was awesome…
An afternoon in town
Ended up working in Seattle for a few hours today, it was not planned, but this program is what it is. A little chaotic, very challenging with a lot of stuff going on, but professionally a very satisfying when it all comes together and I perhaps make a small difference like today. After spending a few hours at Boe Field I was heading through Seattle…
At last…
This was the view from the living room early this morning, the sun is out. I love this view.
Colorado 0 – Seattle 1
I went to the Irishman to watch the Sounders play Colorado tonight. It looked like a fascinating game, both team need the points and Colorado are the champions. It’s always nice to beat the champions. Four minutes in Steve Zakuani had his leg broken by a reckless tackle by Brian Mullin. There was little attempt to play the ball and Mullen crashed into Zakuani’s planted…
Is the spring finally here?
Dare I dream? Is the spring finally here? Perhaps the wettest April on record is finally drying up? I spent an hour out on the bike this evening again, it was a little cold still, but turned into a beautiful evening in Snohomish. It’s been a great week and the finding time to relax a little has been going very well with nothing more than…
