Roll With It (Eagle's Roost)

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:53:00 GMT

Yet another week rolling by me, which is good in a way. Knew this was going to be a tough year, but it's halfway done now. I keep singing that classic Merle Haggard song to myself: "If we make it through December, everything's gonna be alright I know..." Sure, it's a Christmas song, but it fits and I love Christmas and it's hot in the summer and I can't wait for winter. I'm not built...

I'm close to that--or more, but about half of mine are...

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 02:00:24 GMT

Hugo always has great song titles for the game threads but all I can think of is how the Jays are making me want to drink....so the song title is an old Merle Haggard song. We have McGowan going up against Washburn, Washburn's been hit hard this year but McGowan's had troubles on the road so we might see some runs. Over/under for Jay's hits with RISP? I'm optimistic, lets make it 3....

Recently, however, I relocated to West Seattle and found myself wondering where the hell I could go for a hop fix? The answer presented itself as I rounded the corner of Fauntleroy...
