Yesterday was a classic Super Saturday and was nothing short of active. Today however I am going to up the stakes because I have a Supreme Sunday set up and can't wait to get things started. 7:30am Sunday morning I make myself a hearty breakfast, call my buddy Chris McClelland and hit the road to Seattle. Highlights of the drive were the Washington Bandito motorcyclist who flipped off a cop call and then rode away and the Honda "Audi"sey, a 94 Honda Odyssey with Audi rings instead of the Honda "H".
We are headed to Seattle Washington to watch an NFL football game. Now these aren't any old tickets and this isn't any old game. We are front row, on the field, 50 yard line, behind the home team, for the home opener!!! It really doesn't get any better than this! We make it to Seattle around 11:30am which gives us plenty of time to hit up as many tailgates as we can before the game. Before that can begin, I go to print my tickets off at a local Office Depot where I meet Ryan. Picture a 5'8'' neon ginger with the best Carleton (from the Fresh Prince of Bel-air) costume I have ever seen, except he wasn't in costume. I some how managed to offend him by thinking that Staples and Office Depot were the same thing. You could visibly see how sad he was and he went on to recite his Office Depot pledge. Sensitive little ginger aren't we?!
In the stadium, players rush out the gates, pyrotechnics are in full effect, the fireworks, the smoke, the marching bands and the sirens, the energy in the building is electric!! Blue skies until about 5 minutes before the game, torrential downpour for the first 5 minutes of the game and then beautiful sunshine the rest of the game. The rain doesn't damper anyone's attitude and this building is alive! We make friends with all our neighbors, high fives all around, the Seahawks pull off a WIN! Not the most exciting game but we won. I called the Seahawks to win as well as 10 other wins I predicted. My picks are getting better! (Wk.1=9/16, Wk.2=12/16, Wk.3=11/16). AND on a healthy note, I stayed away from ALL tasty stadium snacks. I happily enjoyed my bag of peanuts.

Now if the day ended right there, it wouldn't be anything short of epic but the reason this was a Supreme Sunday was because we are headed to a very special place on the way back to Canada; SKYHIGH Sports! I think people dream about places like this but when you find out it actually exists, your mind is blown. SKYHIGH is a trampoline gym but not a regular gymnastic trampoline gym. It is built for people like me who just want to runaround and bounce and flip off everything in sight. SKYHIGH features wall to wall trampolines, trampolines on the walls, a trampoline dodge ball arena and my favorite...a foam pit the size of a backyard swimming pool!!! Who says exercise and working out needs to be boring?! I begin bouncing, flipping, spinning and hucking myself into the foam pit and 6'7" Chris McClelland joins right in. We quickly realize how much cardio and energy bouncing takes out of you but on the clock, winded as we may be, don't waste a single minute (we even swindled another 30 mins for free after talking to the pretty girl at the front desk). Worn out, sore and exhausted we drive back to Canada. Wait about an hour in the border line up and finish the day with a well deserved hot tub session to sooth the muscles. I know I will be sore tomorrow.
