Happy Veterans' Day! The weather has been downright nasty. Today was all about running some errands, getting inside and reading a book. Nonetheless, Veterans' Day is a great holiday and it should be observed. So again, happy Veterans' Day.

This past weekend was spent with my old lady and a couple of nieces down in Olympia. We got a hotel room downtown and did the downtown/state capitol touristy thing. It was all pretty fun. I forget how much I really like the South Sound area. Anyways, a weekend away from the grind was really nice. It's easy to get caught up in everything and forget that you need to get away sometimes. So, my advice to you is to get out of dodge every once in a while. I'd suggest Olympia.

Okay, I'm officially hoping that Jim Mora jumps ship from the Seahawks and comes over to Montlake to coach the Huskies. After the game today, it just appeared that we were yet again outplayed and outcoached. And to make matters worse, this current recruiting class is looking sketchy. Granted, four or five big-time players will ultimately decide if this upcoming class will be worth anything. But still, things aren't looking up overall. Thankfully, Jake Locker's touch passing the ball looks much improved. Tyrone Willingham really needs to re-evaluate how the team is preparing on the defensive end of the ball. We're breaking defensive records, but unfortunately their not the type of records to be proud of...

I really feel bad about those California residents dealing with the wildfires. I couldn't even imagine what it's like to lose your home and all of your belongings in it. Hopefully the effort to help these people is adequate and effective. I don't really know of any outreach program to help these people yet, but I'm sure we'll hear of something soon.

Well, the Seahawks won a game. The Dawgs got whipped. I guess one for two isn't so bad. Still watching the Dawgs in their current state is pretty darn depressing.
