At last, after a long 30 year wait!

Later today I'll be at Dither's house to watch an event that we have both been waiting for, for 30 long years, as our Seattle Seahawks take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl.

We won't be the only ones watching in Seattle, of course, as hundreds of thousands of die-hard 'Hawks fans will be glued to their TV sets as well, although some folks have had their Super Bowl party plans disrupted to a certain degree by the huge wind storm that passed through our area yesterday, knocking power out to large areas of the region. Those folks without power, though, are a resilient bunch, in that they either got portable generators before the storm hit, or they'll jsu move their party to friends or relatives houses who do have power, or go down to the local watering holes that have power.

I know, too, that hundreds of thousands of Steelers fans will be glued to their TV sets as well, which is cool! The Steelers are a great team, and I've been a fan of them for many, many years, and if the NFC team was different, I'd be rooting for the Steelers too.

But not this time! Oh, no - definitely not this time!

GO 'HAWKS!
