An Awesome Time At The University of Washington Football Game Against Weber State

Good Morning, World!!! It is 12:34 in the morning here in Seattle. I attended the University of Washington football game against Weber State. It was a great game and I left at half time due to the noise level. When I left the Huskies were 14 and the Wildcats were 0. The final score was Huskies 35 and Wildcats 3. I truly enjoyed myself and I am grateful that I attended thanks to having a free ticket. I have pictures to show you all and will post this in this blog post. I will be adding captions for the my readers who are site impaired or blind.

A look from the 100 level to the 300 level which is where my seat was. Taken a couple of hours before the game started.
The view from my seat a couple of hours before the game started. On a plus note, I was on the 50 yard line even though I was so high up.
Another view from my seat looking toward the water a few hours before the game started. This is where boaters can park their boats to attend the game.
The Husky marching band did a field show before the game. This spells out “DAWGS”

I do not have much more to discuss but I do want to say I had a blast. I do want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Weekly Check-In

Good Evening, World!!! It has been an uneventful week. I ended up not doing much except volunteer at PAWS Cat City and Alley Cat Project. I haven’t done much of anything as I have been isolating. I didn’t even go to the Mariner’s game this past Wednesday due to depression and isolation.

On a good note Junior and I have been hanging out together all day, today. We will be going to the University of Washington (UW) Husky football game. We will head over in about a half hour as it is only one stop away on the light rail and it starts at 8pm. Thankfully, Junior and I live not to far from the light rail station. I am looking forward to the game.

I don’t have much more to say in this weekly check in. I do hope to take pictures of the husky game and share them with you. Thank you for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Daily Prompt; What Olympic Sports Do You Enjoy Watching the Most?

Daily writing prompt
What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?

This is a great topic especially since the 2024 Summer Olympics just ended. If I were to pick an Olympic sport that I enjoy watching it would be a tie between Track & Field and Gymnastics. Track & Field I love to watch as I was in track & field in high school. I wasn’t any good and usually came in last and occasionally second to last. My dad was in track & field and he was great in the sport. My grandpa was on the track & field team at Washington State University. He was awesome. I enjoy watching gymnastics because it fascinates me with their abilities. Abilities I never had and appreciate others being able to do gymnastics.

Just Another Blog Post

Good Morning, World!!! I realize it has been a while since I last blogged. I have various reasons why I have not blogged as well as some excuses to why I have not blogged. I will do my best to blog on a more regular basis however I cannot make any promises as we never know what life may bring.

On that note, I have had a lot going on. Currently, one of the most pressing things I have been doing is helping a stray cat. Sadly, the Seattle Animal Control is not coming out due to the fact that the cat is not injured and that there are no leash laws for cats in Seattle. I am frustrated with the animal control at the moment for a few reasons but thankfully, I was given the email of the executive director that oversees the animal control. That means I have been working on an email to send to the executive director. As far as getting help for the stray kitty I have contacted another organization to help. They are extremely busy and backed up at the moment but they have been quite helpful as well as been in frequent communication with me. I am hoping that this organization can come out to help some time tomorrow or Tuesday.

If you read my blog regularly you know I live in the United States. It is an election year in which we vote for the next president of the United States. There have been many more twists and turns this presidential election year than I have seen in my 45 years of life. Hell, the same goes for my almost 94 year old grandpa. I may not be a fan of Trump nor have I voted for him and I will not be voting for him this time around but sadly someone tried to assassinate him. I may not like the man but he shouldn’t be shot for any reason. Also, President Biden dropped out of the presidential race for a second term to be president. As of right now Kamala Harris is running for president for the Democratic party. The political climate here in the United States is extremely shaky at the moment.

Now on to a happier topic, the 2024 Summer Olympics. Sadly, I didn’t watch the opening ceremonies but I have been watching the various events that have happened already. I love how the Olympics brings unity and peace this world needs. I just wish there could be unity and peace when the Olympics do not happen. I really enjoy watching the Olympics and I am grateful that they are a break from the daily grind.

I do not have much more to discuss in this particular blog post and I hope to blog more regularly. I do want to thank you for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog, I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Daily Prompt; What’s The Most Fun Way to Exercise?

Daily writing prompt
What’s the most fun way to exercise?

I find multiple ways to have fun exercising but the two main things that come to mind are not the usual ways most people do for fun to get exercise. Those two things are kickball and roller hockey. In fact I am currently on a kickball team for the spring season and I am having fun with it. I will be taking the summer season off due to the fact that I just found out that there is an outdoor roller hockey season here in Seattle so I will be doing that. I love both kickball and roller hockey. I also enjoy rollerblading and do it on nice days around Greenlake here in Seattle. I like to do other things as well but these are things I have the most with as of right regarding exercise.

Weekly Check-In

Good Evening, World!!! It is Saturday evening which means it is that time of the week to do my weekly check-in. I guess I will start from the beginning of the week. I started the week by volunteering at PAWS Cat City. It was a typical opening shift for a Sunday. The best part was helping with getting a very shy cat to get adopted. I love it when any cat gets adopted but even that much special when a shy or spicy cat gets adopted.

The other major thing is that I attended both group therapy and individual therapy this past week. Group therapy is okay and I am enjoying one of the groups I am in. As far as individual therapy goes, I had a tough session with my therapist but it was a good session. Therapy is tough but well worth it.

Now on to earlier today as I played kickball. Sadly, my team lost but at least we didn’t lose to the mercy rule which is great for my team. I love playing kickball and enjoy it greatly. Kickball gives me a sense of community as well as some much needed exercise.

I do not have much more to discuss in this particular weekly check-in. I want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog, I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!
