Hello, John

Everybody sings that incorrectly. The actual words are "the bluest
skies you'll *never* see are in Seattle."

But anyway, the next beautiful shots you'll see from Seattle will be
the Seahawks in our beautiful Qwest field doing your Redskins as Paddy
did the drum.

If our defense doesn't collapse (always a possibility with this year's
team) your very good team will have its hands full with Seattle at
home.

Bet you some Pacific NW smoked salmon against...(what the heck do you
have back there in DC?) -I can't eat red shellfish. No point spread,
just a simple win/lose bet.
Harry too, if he wants, as he lives in the DC area. Other than that,
the betting is closed.

Confirm the wager and name your stakes prior to kickoff if you're
interested. Here's hoping your Skins play well enough to finish a
close
second tomorrow. :-)

No, you can't pull that 'bad weather' trick with me. I've been there. I
*know* what Seattle is like on a sunny, spring or summer day, and the
skies
are *definitely* the bluest you'll ever see. I've believed that since
my
first visit there back in 1969, on my way to Vietnam.

I'm glad to hear your defense is lacking, 'cause last week our offense
was
non-existent. I believe we set a new playoff record for the fewest
offensive yards ever gained by any team in a playoff game.

Now *that's* something to be proud of!

I can think of nothing produced locally that would come close to a
chunk
of
smoked salmon from the Pike Street Market. A Chesapeake Bay Blue Crab
sandwich from one of the better establishments would be the best shot,
but
I don't think it would survive the trip.

Aha! My daughter just had an idea as I was describing this quandary.
Virginia Peanuts! I will wager a can of Virginia Peanuts! Accept the
wager
or squirm out of it, your choice!

Went to the California Culinary Academy for the Friday Buffet last night.
Anniversary. And she did like the tennis bracelet, even if it did not come
from NYC, and was on 70% off sale. They had smoked sturgeon, braised Ahi,
and nice lamb chops as well as another 50' of appetizers. But no where was
boiled goobers.

Nope. Just getting ready.

This is the best revenge I've heard from the man's point of view in the
Mars-Venus wars. It's so logical. The problem is, the man won the battle but
will he win the war? I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men
and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and
Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women
with their heart. FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, my wife and I were
getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually
says, "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me." I said, "WHAT??
What was that?" So she says the words that every husband on the planet
dreads to hear... "You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a
woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man." She responded
to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not
what I do for you in the bedroom?" Realizing that nothing was going to
happen that night, I went to sleep.The very next day I opted to take the day
off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then
went shopping at a big, unnamed department store. I walked around with her
while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't
decide which one to take so I told her she should take them all. She wanted
new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said lets get a pair for each
outfit. We went into the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of
diamond earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have
thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was
testing me because she asked for a tennis bracel et when she doesn't even
know how to play tennis. I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's
fine, honey." She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the
excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation she finally said, "I think
this is all, dear, let's go to the cashier." I could hardly contain myself
when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it." Her face just went
completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled "WHAT?" I then said,
"honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in
touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your
shopping needs as a woman." And just when she had this look like she was
going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not
for the things I buy you?" Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either.

We went to see Les Miserable' downtown. Didn't end until well after the

I don't know. Sounds like clever planning. Not only does he get points
for going taking his lady to a musical- she knows darn well he "gave
up" the chance to watch the playoff game in order to accommodate her.
He winds up with a woman who will need to find some nice way to express
her gratitude, plus he still got home in time to watch the final
minutes. I think they call that "strategy" in the Army.

Boy... you sure talk the talk for a man who's only 'half armed'.

Thanks. Now *I* won't be hauled to jail for threatening to wring his

enjoying a movie with the wife and daughter last night.

The movie? "Cinderella Man". If you've not seen it, do.

Congrats to the Washington Redskins for an excellent season.

I thought we were done when Shaun Alexander got pulled almost right
away, and we nearly fumbled ourselves right out of existence....

However, through a combination of a Seattle downpour, some skillful
play, and a lot of dumb luck the Seahawks managed to prevail and will
host the NFC championship game next week. Who'd a thunk it?

Thanks, John H.
Gonna love them goober peas. :-)
