Well, that got resolved quickly!

Okay, no more QB speculation.  Hmmmm.  Tarvaris Jackson, Matt Leinart in and Hasselbeck is out.  I guess we're officially in moving on mode.  Whitehurst is gonna have to earn the spot, and this is DEFINITELY going to be an interesting year.

WooHoo! Football Lives!

Finally, they got it figured out.  Now, let's hope the 'Hawks get the QB situation figured out. Right now given the timeframe especially, I'd make sure to keep Hass on staff.  He knows the stuff and wouldn't need a learning curve.  Plus, we've beefed up the line a bit more.  Get Whitehurst some serious preseason workouts and then make sure to get him some (maybe) late gametime reps during the season. If the game's in hand, he's proven he probably WON'T lose the game and he DOES need some real gametime experience.  Then, plan for a serious draft move next year to maybe get the QB of the future who can sit and learn for a couple seasons.  Heck, maybe Whitehurst IS that guy and we just need to see more.  Anyway, I wonder how much of this labor stuff could have been worked out a month or two ago and how much of this getting done now was due to the fact that the preseason/training camp schedules were about to get seriously affected.

Couple other bits . ..

I've set up links to the wife's blogs. Chef Lorrie. (Yes, she's a REAL chef, not playing one on TV.) She's got a cooking blog AND starting one on couponing. (No, NOT the extreme stuff. Most of us DON'T have the time or space to buy 5000 packs of toilet paper and/or Cheerios) But she HAS already started to save us a BUNCH of money just doing a bit of research and planning using the thing they send out every week in the Sunday paper. AND she's been finding the stuff online too. I'm starting to be impressed by this. I've watched several $80 totals drop to about $28. Not too bad.

Gotta stop the gaps. Hell, I post, post a cleanup/reset, and then wait nearly another year. Okay. It's blog fear. Must be. Never considered myself a writer, but I think things have gotten to the point I need to try. Politically, maybe. Definitely observations. Social issues? Again, these days, anything is a good topic. MOSTLY, always a sucker for a good, DECENT, well thought out conversation. Matching AND opposing viewpoints allowed, provided it stays respectful. If I post something, remember, it's just my OPINION. Not carved in stone. If you disagree with something, just make sure you can back it up with clear facts, not talking points. I can find those easy enough from BOTH sides of any argument. I'll listen to other sides, sometimes I can convince them I'm right and sometimes they convince me they are. The beauty of free speech and independent thought. And during these times, THAT'S something we all need to see. And yes, topics that are PURELY entertainment may (Okay, probably) will pop up here and there. (DAMN I wish I had made it to ComicCon this year. Say that every year! Geeks Unite!) So, How 'bout them Seahawks? (Now that it looks like the league will actually get down to PLAYING the season?)

Okay, the door is open again, I'll try to keep the coffee flowing.

Okay, reset and a LOT of dusting!

Well, just over a year and a half and I come back to this corner I had decided to start up. Best laid plans and all that I suppose. Well. Good a time as any for a second post. (Okay, second FIRST post as it would seem). I'll dust up around here and clean up the cobwebs and give this thing a second shot. Gotta have someplace to vent and comment on stuff, might as well be here. It's why I staked it out in the first place! Again, nothing in particular, probably whatever is on my mind at the time. Pull up a chair (Once I find them again) and well see what happens!

A first post . . . a significant event??

So this is it. My plunge into the brave (not-so) new world of the blog.
Wow.
It's big in here.
I guess I'll claim this little bit over here.
Welcome.
This is going to be a place (My place. Cool!) to ramble about whatever's passing through my mind (or majorly distracting it) at whatever random time it hits. Nothing too complicated or too simple really. Feel free to join in the ramblings. Who knows. We may all end up learning something.

Or, more likely, at least enjoy the few minutes of time we wasted together!
