We will be up there next fall for the NY Giants vs Seahawks game. I think thats the only game we will be able to make it for. Kenzie, Dave, my brother Scott, and perhaps Whitney will be coming for it. Maybe we can all get together for that one?

Hi Kari! Next year, want to go to a Sounders game with us? It’s been too long since we’ve seen you guys!

WOW! What an adventure! Tim tried to get tickets to the soccer game, but last minute tickets were so expensive we didnt get to come. Happy Birthday to A! Cant belive how quickly time passes. Its only obvious when I see children grow. Miss ya.

Hi Scott! Your comment sent me on a little websearch that ended with listening to Gord Downie and The Tragically Hip–thanks for the inspiration. And “Hallelujah” is supple and poetic enough to thrive on endless interpretation and reinvention, don’t you think?

I first heard “Hallelujah” on the soundtrack to the movie Saint Ralph, performed by Gordon Downie. Love the song, and have to agree that the Buckley version is one of the best, but I still like the way Gord Downie’s version mixes into the cinematography of the movie.

Hi Brooke! Another confession: we only subscribe to the paper because B. insists on it. It sometimes has a second life as a basis for all sorts of random projects like papier mache or spelling assignments, but mainly it ends up tossed in the recycle bin, 2/3 of the way read (B. does read the sports section–comes in handy for conversing with patients, I think).

And I’m glad you like the Jeff Buckley. You can hear Nina Simone’s influence at the end there.

#1 – I love how you confess your Luddite tendencies on your blog.

#2 – I LOVE Leonard Cohen, but that Jeff Buckley version was amazing.

#3 – I think I need to subscribe to the paper again. I just wish I could pick and choose what parts were delivered to my door. I hate that I end up immediately tossing half the stack of papers (the ads, the Sports section, that “Entertainment” magazine – Parade, I think…) into the recycle bin.
