Sabbatical begins

Brian's sabbatical started this weekend.  Eight weeks of no work.  It'll be tough, but somehow I hope to manage.

Off to a good start on Saturday.  Golfed in a.m. with Nate, chicken wing lunch, then Hudson and I went to our first Timbers game that night.  Free tickets from work helped convince me to take a 3 year old to the game.

Highlights of the game:

Seeing Max train drive down road
Loud jet flyover
Seeing a mascot (sadly didn't get to see him use chainsaw on big log, only does that after Timbers score a goal).
Ice Cream Oreo Sandwich


Guy walking around selling cotton candy
Making Dad buy cotton candy even though Hudson doesn't like it (Kelley probably put him up to it)
Soda, resulting in a shirt change.
Pretzel
Referee blowing whistle
Finding a penny on the ground
Spotting company logos he knows
Timbers army songs he could clap along to
Speakers playing Hudson's favorite song - Paradise by Coldplay
Learning the number 11 (Hudson's seat number)
Learning to lick his finger then clean my face
And staying up waaaaaay past bedtime

We made it till the 75th minute.  Not bad, my goal was halftime.  Sugar high must have kept him going...

Cousin Clifford took this picture... we're in 2nd row from top, i'm in light green shirt holding Hudson.


 Our view.  Sadly Timbers lost 1-0, but that seems to be how it goes these days.  At least they had lots of scoring chances right in front of us in the first half so Hudson got some excitement.
