Sportify

Wow, but what a lot of sports were on TV this weekend!

For quite a few years, I observed the Super Bowl by calling it another name: Superb Owl, and did a few posts on this blog with that tagline. But yesterday's game was different, as for once, the Seahawks were in the game. And not only were they in it, they won!

They've been in it four times, but only won once before -- and it turns out that was twelve years ago. It seems kind of appropriate that this should be the year they win, considering that twelve has always been their special number. 

But it wasn't just football filling the screen, the Winter Olympics are taking up space as well. Because this month's posts are partly a look back, it wasn't all that long ago the games were in Vancouver. The cauldron is still downtown, looking over Burrard Inlet and the North Shore, and as you can see, still looks quite beautiful. 

While I don't usually watch a lot of sports (though do love watching golf and curling -- both of which I find calming, go figure), yesterday was different. Good thing these big events only come along now and then!
