Into November…
November 10th, 2008Well, it’s been about a month or so. I hope that everyone has had a nice start to the month. October was a GREAT month in terms of weather here in Portland. Warm, sunny days. It was great. November has been dreary and a bit chilly, but that’s the breaks.
Like I said earlier, I went down to Seattle. It was a good time. The weather was great. I didn’t go into the game, didn’t feel like paying 80 dollars to see two below average teams. If I want that, I’ll go to KC and pay less, but I suppose the quality of football is even worse…well, anyhow, I didn’t want to pay.
I’ve since been to Eugene again for a football game. They played UCLA, and again the weather was great. I just went yesterday to watch the Oregon hoops team play against Southern Oregon. We were in the 100 level, close up. It was neat to see college basketball somewhere other than Lawrence, Kansas. But, I would never trade that experience for anything. Not a chance.
I have also been to a few more concerts, and I’m headed to see the Cold Ward Kids again. I saw Ray Lamontagne, great show. Awesome singer. My mom will be in town soon, and we’re headed to the Trailblazers game against the Miami Heat. So we’ll get to see Mario Chalmers and Michael Beasley, some guys with Kansas connections. And also later in Dec. I am headed to watch the Ducks play against Kansas State in basketball.
As you can see, I’ve been doing quite a bit, and in between all of that, I’ve managed to watch more than my share of college football. Oh those Jayhawks, couldn’t quite pull out the win in Nebraska. They are just giving up a lot of points. But, with two wins to close the season, 8-4??? Here’s to hoping.
Thanksgiving is around the corner. We’ll be playing a touch football game, sort of replacing the one that I normally participate in back home. It should be fun, but it certainly won’t be the same.
