Yay, Seahawks! and Day 10
The last day of the meme:
Day One: Ten random facts about yourself.
Day Two: Nine things you do every day.
Day Three: Eight things that annoy you.
Day Four: Seven fears/phobias.
Day Five: Six songs that you’re addicted to.
Day Six: Five things you can’t live without.
Day Seven: Four memories you won’t forget.
Day Eight: Three words you can’t go a day without using.
Day Nine: Two things you wish you could do.
Day Ten: One person you can trust.
This one's easy. My friend Loralee. I've known her for twenty years, and she's always been there for me. She's hauled me back and forth to the hospital for surgery twice, among other things. I'm not sure what I'd do without her, and I try to reciprocate and help her out as much as I can.
Also, the Seahawks are now officially 5-1, after winning over the Tennessee Titans today! Go, 'Hawks!
The Seahawks quarterback, Russell Wilson, is in his second year as a 'Hawk and in the NFL, and he's 11-0 at home. He has never lost a game at the Clink yet ('Clink' is local shorthand for Century Link Field). That's pretty darned impressive, if you ask me. Marshawn Lynch, running back extraordinaire, had a terrific day, too. And Richard Sherman made yet another interception [g].
That was a fun game.
Well, except for this: right before halftime Houschka the field goal kicker got run into and received a bloody nose (I think that’s the first time I’ve ever seen a kicker get injured) and had to go get checked for a concussion, which meant that Ryan the punter (who normally holds the ball for Houschka, too) had to try to kick a field goal with a guy who apparently had never held a ball for a field goal in his life placing the ball for him.
He fumbled it before Ryan ever got to kick the ball, Tennessee recovered, and ran it all the way to the other end for their only touchdown of the game. At least it didn’t cost the ‘Hawks the game. But I suspect Pete Carroll’s highest priority this week will be to make sure someone besides Ryan knows how to do the field-goal ball-holding, just in case. On the bright side, it was only a bloody nose, not a concussion, thank goodness.
