Anyway, Seattle is a good place to be.\u00c2\u00a0 It&#8217;s about 10 degrees and overcast, which is winter for Seattle, and by all accounts that&#8217;s pretty much paradise when compared to Ottawa or New York for that matter.\u00c2\u00a0 Methinks if I ever make it to Newark it will be much different.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway.\u00c2\u00a0 The inevitable comparisons to Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is obvious, just take out the Trains and Automobiles.\u00c2\u00a0 Planes, Planes and more planes.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it was a fantastic week of training, not the least of which was a great party at Safeco Field in Seattle, where they obviously have regular sportsball competitions.\u00c2\u00a0 It was just too much fun.\u00c2\u00a0 I snapped a few pics, below.<\/p>\n<p>Good times, now I just need them to end.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vallentyne.com\/blog\/2013\/02\/09\/i-found-nemo-and-he-is-a-jerk\/wp_20130207_012\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3023\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
