    Having all grown a week older and having no Blazer games to fill our otherwise empty lives, there is a lot of personal growth to enjoy. So what in the past week has struck you or have you learned? I'll start.

    Family ain't so bad if you're open to them.

    It's way easier to "J.O." while wearing socks.

    Star Trek isn't just for nerds.


    What you guys got?

    I had forgotten that the Knicks didn't use the "Allen Houston Rule" on Allen Houston.

    R&D Planning for an enterprise that hasn't done it in a while entails a lot of "Going back to basics".

    DC is a significantly different vibe than Seattle.

    My 13-month-old has the capacity to be intentionally funny.

    Five Guy's makes a better burger than Teddy's Seattle

    Traffic in Seattle makes Portland look barren by comparison

    It takes 45 minutes during rush hour to get from Tualatin to West Linn for a T-ball game

    My new xoom is fantastic and i dont know how to fully use it yet

    My home smoke alarms like to go off out of nowhere and scare the living shit out of me

    Miami is pretty good (but lebron is still a jackass)

    Making the 4 hour trip to Dallas for In n Out Burger was worth the trip.

    Nothing beats sitting at a MLB baseball game with your kids eating crap and teaching them how to use a scorebook.

    I never thought I'd be happy to see rain.

    What I learned this week is that I can actually become nervous about an upcoming soccer game.

    I'm not seasoned enough to make the trip this season. I'm still in training. But next season? Yeah.
