This past weekend was perfect.

For the first time in 28 days, the sun briefly came out and ended the second longest raining streak here in the area. Believe it or not, the last time the sun shined through the clouds here was in mid-December.

KC and I took advantage of the sun by going out and went to Poulsbo and Bainbridge Island and looked around the neighborhoods. We also tried our luck in a casino and I won $16! :P Not bad for a few minutes of work (and a $4 startup).

Well, I guess we are starting another long wet period as it is raining since we woke up this morning and is forecasted to stay that way for a while.

Last weekend also broke another streak - the Seahawks finally won a playoff game after 21 years! Seattle was in a frenzy Saturday after the Seahawks beat the Redskins to set up the first ever NFC Championship in the city next Sunday. I tried my luck on getting tickets for the game online, which went on sale 10am this morning, and after refreshing the browser for five minutes, I finally connected to the Ticketmaster site only to find out that the tickets were all sold out - in less than 5 minutes!!!

The good thing about that is that I can watch the game at the comfort of our home in all its HDTV glory - on my birthday!
