Seahawks up by 14 one minute into the third quarter. Even when you have the lead it is still time to push.

Seahawks vs. Broncos

So we’re here at qwest field for the Seahawks game. We have sweet suite seats.
It’s kinda interesting seeing how really affluent folks spend money. I’m not sure I would do this all the time even if I could afford it.
Have to say thanks to FedEx for sliding us the tickets. I will let some pictures do some talking for me now.
When packing and moving, it is important to carefully label breakable items to prevent damage.
If that’s the case, what the hell does this label prevent?

Jen and I went to Westport this last weekend for Pirate Daze and the Sand and Sawdust festival in Ocean Shores. We headed off to Ocean Shores pretty much first thing Saturday morning to see the sand castle competition.
Teams had a roughly 12 foot square plot of beach to work in. The were assigned plots and allowed to set up their tools at 7am. They were unable to actually enter the plot and begin building until 9am. One of the things I was surprised to find out is that they did not allow you bring sand into or out of your plot. I suppose that just allows the ocean to put everything back pretty much where it came from.
Teams had until 3pm to build and were judged on things like height, cut-throughs, theme and using the plot evenly. We found out a few days before arriving here that Joel’s family was going to have a team present so we were excited to catch up with them and see how they did.
There are two beach access roads near the area and we wound up at the one furthest from the event. We had to walk about half a mile or so to get there but considering the state of parking where the event actually was I think it would have been the same either way. Plus, something about a walk along the beach seems a whole lot better than walking through a parking lot.

There were four different divisions for the competition; Family, Novice, Intermediate, and Master. the Family teams were clearly there just for the fun of hanging out together. I saw a bit of overlap in the Novice and Intermediate teams, but the Masters were just amazing. Particularly the theme and detail level of the Masters is what set them apart.

Arnold Palmer Cocktail
Jul 1
It was a friend’s 21st birthday this past Monday so we went out to The Swiss [Apparently their real site, theswisspub.com is having problems, link goes to MySpace] for a little celebration.
There were many different drinks being handed out to Zach, but one of the interesting ones was the Arnold Palmer cocktail. For whatever reason the bartender called it an Arnold Palmer Weed but I can’t find another reference to it using that name.
The recipe is pretty straightforward:
- Highball glass
- Cubed Ice
- 2 oz. Vodka
- 4 oz. Lemonade
- 4 oz. Iced Tea
- Lemon Wedge Garnish
The difficult part is having had a couple drinks and trying to tell everyone else what it is you are drinking. We went around a few times trying to say it tongue-twister style and had a good laugh. Here is Jen’s final effort:
