I need to work off my Super Bowl weight. We had a great night, as the Seahawks won, so it was worth it.
How tacky is “you stayed awake for it?”
It was my kind of football. Old school defense and running the ball.
What’s wierd about that game is the lack of discussion afterwards. For years it seems like that’s all one would hear in gym day after.
You don’t live in Washington State. It’s a pretty big deal here.

Today is my 55th birthday. My wife and I were just discussing last night, our parents seemed really old when they were 55. I feel like I am just getting started.
I only have nine more working days until retirement. I feel lucky to retire at such a young age. There were many nights and many dangerous situations where I might have thought I would never last this long. I feel blessed to be able to make it out alive. I have known several friends who didn’t.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!
