On Thursday night, Gonzaga plays Duke at Madison Square Garden.  This is yet another one of those games that fans have waited ages for, and that fans thought would never happen… outside of a tournament game.  It’s really too bad that this game wasn’t scheduled for last year - both teams were ranked in the […]

November was the wetest month ever in Seattle - it rained something crazy like 15 inches, and rain was recorded every single day other than the 25th.
All that rain really makes me ready for a trip back to Hawaii where Liz and I spent our honeymoon.  If you are looking for a great Kauai beach rental home check out […]
