Ho-hum, the pointless story into the “investigation” of the 2000 UW football team is “over.” Does anybody know what it said? I don’t, I quit reading the P-I times for the week…Next week, I’ll have to continue reading their paper(s) again (something about keeping your enemies closer)…
So, lets sum it up, shall we? Here’s what I [...]

I love you, Seattle P-I (times) “writers” (part 1)
Posted in Huskies on Tuesday, January 29, 2008 | 22 Comments »
The unbiased writers over at the Seattle P-I(times) are running a 4-part “story” about the University of Washington. It involves an “investigation” into the football program that coincidentally gets press time just as the University is proposing a 150 million dollar stadium upgrade. WOW, a 150 million? That’s a lot of money.
I’m sure that the [...]
Royal Pain…

The nemesis of my fly boxes…The Royal Wulff, derived from the Royal Coachman, which is derived from the British Coachman, later called the Quack Coachman and so forth…It’s named after fly fishing legend Lee Wulff, who didn’t invent it but somehow got “tied” to it…Whatever, the stories vary. One thing is for certain, it is one [...]
That “other” Sport

That’s right, the 4-time champions (95, 96, 05 and 07) Seattle Sounders are the only Seattle team in recent memory that have actually won something!
I got one of those “mass emails” today that was supposedly from one of the owners of our new Major League Soccer team coming next year…Yep, comedian funny guy [...]

I’ve received a few comments about my page format here and it hasn’t been as positive as I thought it would be. I guess a few people are having trouble reading this so I need to fix it… What’s the point of writing if nobody can read it!?
Some people like this 4 column format (it’s “sleek” and [...]

Since I’m new to the blogging world and haven’t gotten to know many bloggers yet, my “links” category or “blogroll” will be minimal for a while. However, there are a couple that I do know and have read for a while now. They are located at the right under the “links” section and are worth checking out.
“Life in [...]
Huskies and Such…

Sadly, the college football season is over and once again ”Husky Nation” was left with another dismal year. Quick, what do Paris Hilton and the UW football team have in common? They’ve both been screwed by a guy named Rick…(I’ll elaborate on that another day).
It’s a looong time until next season but since this blog [...]
There’s no head like Steelhead
Posted in fishing on Sunday, January 20, 2008 | 11 Comments »
It’s that time of year again to get out and chase the elusive “silver bullets,” or Steelhead, the anadramous trout. Now, most people consider steelhead to be salmon which they are not. They’re sea-run trout that spend a majority of their life in the ocean and then return to the rivers to spawn. Salmon [...]
Into The Wild
Posted in Books, Outdoors on Friday, January 18, 2008 | 10 Comments »
I recently finished Jon Krakauer’s book “Into The Wild.” A friend of mine recommended it and insisted that I would “absolutely love it.” Well, I had my reservations as I remembered hearing about the story years ago and I simply came to the conclusion that the kid in this story was a dumbass…
Once I started reading, [...]
