All this driving is really starting to catch up with me. Currently, I just arrived in Seattle, WA, and I'm already thinking about hitting the bar and just sitting back and relaxing. Or maybe thats just the west coast getting to me. Unfortunately for me, I have some work to do first. Mike does have the Celtics on as a bit of a distraction. I' not a basketball fanatic or particularly even a fan, but I've got to say, it is pretty funny listening to the commentary from the west coast's point of view. The announcers keep putting down Boston as, obviously, the west coast is going to favor LA. They keep saying that they expect the Lakers to sweep the series, and any little mishap that the Celtics might endure is pointed out and sharply criticized. It's amusing. But what is even funnier is how whomever is on censor duty is pretty terrible at their job. You see someone miss a shot, followed by some obscenities, and then two seconds later you only hear silence. Someone needs to work on their timing. HA! and right before the commercial break, I just heard Rondo say "MYYYY NIGGGAAAA". I mean, its hilarious, but I doubt censor-guy will have his job after this game.
So now that the game is taking most of my attention, I'm going to wrap this up. I'll be in Seattle for the next day and a half and I'll keep you posted with any updates. Oh, an before I forget, here's my progress up to this point (we've gone just over 3,000 miles. Time for oil change #1 haha):
My dad just came back from Seattle on Thursday. He flew there not knowing anyone in order to climb Mt. Rainier, a 14,000 foot mountain. He ended up making it 12,000 ft. because of weather conditions. But anyways, the point of me telling you this was to also inform you of the Jimi Hendrix memorial that is found in Seattle. My dad went to it and took a bunch of pictures because he loves Jimi Hendrix- it is so cool! Just wanted to let you know in case you were a fan, I am not sure how busy you are but if you have time you should def. check it out. P.S. GO CELTICS!!! (They are in at 9 tonight in MA...411) Oh, and i totally heard Rondo say that.
ReplyDeleteYeah we got to check out some of the Hendrix Memorial, plus there's an exhibit on him at the Music Museum there, so that was pretty awesome. And Climbing Rainier is quite the challenge. I was in Seattle 3 years ago and visited Rainier, and while I was there there was a party making their final ascent to the summit, and they were getting blown around pretty hard. Unfortunately, we didnt get a chance to go up to Rainier, but did get a look at it, which is still pretty impressive because its sooooo freakin' huge haha.
