Warcraft and Seahawks

It's been almost two months since I posted last. I'm trying to work on that. I experimented with emailing posts directly, but the formatting got all messed up, and I'm very lazy with these things.

The Seahawks are primed and ready for their playoff run. In many ways, this team is better than their Super Bowl team of 2005. In one very big way, however, it's inferior. Last week's game against Baltimore notwithstanding, they simply cannot sustain a running game. The Ravens haven't really been showing up since they lost against the Patriots, so our success their is not much to talk about.

Coach Holmgren was wise to switch to a pass first offense, and it may be enough to take us deep into the playoffs. Hasselbeck is playing his best football ever, the receiving corps is performing at a very high level, and the defense has shown an ability to truly dominate opposing offenses.

Nora and I have been quietly continuing with our Warcraft addic... hobby. We've joined a giant and very pleasant guild, and that really adds to our enjoyment. The game culture is very different with these folks, and on this server, compared to our time on Frostwolf, the pvp server. It's much easier to get a hand with an instance or with gear. In some ways, it can be a little TOO easy, if you let it.
