Tough Weekend for Seattle Sports

A lot of “L”‘s this weekend, not a lot other than the beautiful fall weather for a Seattle sports fan to enjoy:

- Seahawks L

- Sounders L

- Mariners L, L

- UW Football L

- WSU Football L

[However, as one guy in the office pointed out, Bellevue HS Football won. The future is on the shoulders of the youth of the PacNW.]

Forget the movie, Facebook truly makes Hollywood bigtime

with a central role in tonight’s Entourage episode.

Bonus: Dean Cain cameo. (we share an alma mater, we’re real close…)

My Daughter is a Capitalist Genius (Part II)

As I have previously chronicled, my daughter is a capitalist genius.

Proof point numero dos:
Last weekend, my wife was greeted by my daughter who walked into the kitchen with about two dollars in change from who-knows-where. Turns out, she had been selling “ice cream” to the neighborhood passers-by from our front porch. More specifically, imaginary ice cream. So successfully that various rubes had handed over the pocket silver.
(I’ll just avoid the ethical complications with this by considering it ‘paid porch theater’…)

Leave it to a 4 year old to capture the subtle nuances

“Daddy did you know that today ____ told me a secret and I was able to keep it a secret!”

“Hey good job. What was the secret?”

“I can’t remember. But that’s good because did you know that ‘keeping a secret’ is the same as ‘can’t remember’, because if you can’t remember then you can’t tell anybody else?”
