My good freind Ponce invited to me to join him to a Seahawks football game. Had a great time, they're winning this year. Ponce and I went to see the mother of Marcus Trufant, one of the local players to purchase a signed jersey for Ponce's son as a Christmas gift. I learned the value of a signature this day. The cost was $20 without and $100 with signature.
You can see the full moon framed by one of the two major trusses holding up the stadium roof. The structure of the stadium not only incorporates the shapes of a football but picks up on the structural elements of the adjacent SAFECO field (baseball stadium). Really quite successful architecture.
The game itself was nothing short of a slaughter with a score of 48 to 0, in favor of the Hawks, or something like that. Some of the crowd left early, but Ponce & I hung around to the very end savoring victory. You don't always have occasion to enjoy good company, a good game, on a dry but cool, and misty northwest afternoon.
It was fun to see Kenney Easely as an honored guest at this game. Kenney was the Seahawks premier free safety many years ago. He look healthy but old, the old part is what I see in the mirror. Oh well thanks Eva (Ponce's wife) for letting me use you ticket......great day!!!
