Seriously getting back to gardening later this week...

As soon as I get over my obligatory Seahawks Superbowl victory post, that is.  Seattle has gone Seahawks crazy.  We can't stop talking about and thinking about that perfect game yesterday.  Our team didn't make any mistakes, executed nearly every play perfectly, and there weren't even any bad calls.  It might have been more fun for the rest of the country to watch if the game were closer, but for us it was perfect!

And it is amazing how much it really does seem like US.  We aren't the ones out on that field getting hammered or doing the hammering, but Seattle fans actually feel like a part of the team.  I can't think of the last time so many people were so united.  Football rocks!  We're having a big parade downtown on Wednesday.  Luckily I'll already be downtown for work because traffic will be impossible.

  Speaking of work, here's a picture of some of my office mates on Friday.  Half the people were actually working in their offices, but here are some lawyers, paralegals, legal secretaries and administrators in blue and green.  I'm in the green sweater, second row from the back, second person in.  Yes, we could have used someone to stage us a little better!  But it was fun, and we had a pre-Superbowl party with beer and appetizers.  Seriously, every office in the building was having similar parties and nearly everyone was dressed in Seahawks colors.

In other news, I am battling a stye on my right eye.  Started getting it Friday and it's full blown now, driving me moderately crazy.  My brother Steve and I used to get these infections frequently when we were young teenagers, he more than me.  I haven't had one in over 40 years!  It should resolve itself within a week or so, and the only treatment is hot compresses, which I only started today. Am I getting younger, or what?

It is clear and cold here, very pretty!  Seems quite a bit too cold to be digging in the garden, though.

This new cat came in the cat door tonight. The flash on the phone is too bright, so you can't see that it is quite a pretty tabby cat.  But seriously, no more cats!!
