this isn't seattle

i don't remember moving to seattle.  and i don't even remember wanting to move to seattle.  except i would like easy access to a yummy salmon and rosemary sandwich i had at pike's market in downtown seattle.  anyway, i digress.  it has been raining here for four solid days and it's getting really old.  craig has enjoyed the time off of baseball, but i'm thinking it doesn't bode well for our older years when the kids don't play baseball anymore.  i've been pretty bored.  we have had a lot of games canceled.

there was definitely something to do tonight for anyone who could hang on until midnight.  pirates 4: on stranger tides came out at midnight.  of course, jake and evan's team "the pirates" all went to the midnight showing together wearing their "pirate" shirts.  jake used police "caution" tape to save three rows of seats.  it sounds like fun was had by all--that is until this morning when people had to get up for school.  craig also took a group of groupies to the midnight showing, but he had a car full of girls.  he said they were loud and all talked at once.  he took caroline and eight of her friends.  isaac had to go in the girl group.  sam and i stayed home safe and warm in our beds, perhaps dreaming of pirates.  i was awaken at 2:30 by the loudest and hardest hitting hail storm i've ever heard.  it passed quickly and i was soon back asleep.
