The Family That Watches Sports Together.......

....watches it separately. I know, it's supposed to go something like " The family that ________ (you fill in the blank) together, stays together. But my family is spread out. I was raised in a family that was interested in sports. So when I had my own kids, I got them interested, too. Our first blind devotion was to the Seattle SuperSonics NBA team. With them we won a championship. But they're gone now, off in Oklahoma. Since then we've added the NFL Seattle Seahawks, the MLB Mariners, and this year the Major League Soccer Sounders FC. A few years ago the Seahawks went to the Superbowl, the Mariners were in the playoffs, and our Sounders got off to a great start this year as an expansion team. Son Jake, off on his own in Seattle, is way into the Sounders, and will be watching the Seahawks today from an as yet undisclosed location. I'll text him to find out where. Daughter Jill moved to Colorado, where the Broncos roam, but she has purchased an NFL package so that she can watch her Seahawks, and her kids will be dressed in their Seahawks shirts, too. Husband Corey will have to go find another TV to watch. No doubt we will text and/or call each other during the game. You see, we are watching it together, just in different places. It looks like Dianne's Jets are getting it done out on the other coast! Gotta go. Game time!
