Last night, the Trailblazers handed out post cards and pens to all fans who entered the arena. On one side was a dedication of thanks to our Military Servicemen and Women and on the back it was blank, save for an address to some sort of Military headquarters in Maryland. We were encouraged to write a note of thanks to our soldiers, which I thought was a marvelous idea and was really happy to see so many heads down at the stadium, writing notes and dropping them off for delivery. I took some time with mine and tought about what I wanted to say and began to scribble in my horrendous chicken scratch. I started off by thanking them for their service and said I was at the Blazers game and it was because of the hard work and dedication of partriots like them that a man like me can enjoy freedom and blah blah blah. At the end, I included my email address and said if anybody who reads this is a Blazers fan and will write back to me, I have a pair of tickets to give away to a game later this season. 90% of me thinks this post card will get lost in the suffle and nobody will ever send me an email. But 10% of me really hopes one of our troops reads this, contacts me and gets to enjoy a game in Portland. I wonder if anything will ever come of this. I sure hope so.

What happens when you get more e-mails than there are home games?

I forward them to Hock Meng Tay.

Look what I found on my walk this morning. Link Works perfectly. Pretty sure it belongs to a city official since all the pics are of a damaged city owned retaining wall.

Or just some amateur photographer with a really bad imagination.

The gal behind the bullet proof glass ended up running after me as I got into my car to leave. I sort of noticed the name of their current supplier plastered all over the place and sort of mentioned I was in the same business.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States' first new nuclear power plant in a generation won approval Thursday as federal regulators voted to grant a license for two new reactors in Georgia.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission voted 4-1 to approve Atlanta-based Southern Co.'s request to build two nuclear reactors at its Vogtle site south of Augusta.

The vote clears the way for officials to issue an operating license for the reactors, which could begin operating as soon as 2016 and 2017.

The NRC last approved construction of a nuclear plant in 1978, a year before a partial meltdown of the Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania.

The commission approved a new reactor design for the Vogtle plant in December.

I actually have 3 pairs of tickets to give away if it comes to that. In fact, my fantasy last night was to have multiple emails from the military requesting tickets and me staging some sort of contest where they tell me what makes them such a Blazers fan and the GMTAN helps me decide who gets the tickets. I was envisioning me and some Marines kicking it at the Elks Lodge, sucking down HAMMS and toasting to the flag. Much like Jerry Seinfeld in the episode with Babu Bat, I was back-patting myself and thinking that perhaps the military would name some sort of medal for me.

Series of fantasy/D&D type books. The first book in the series "Game of Thrones" was turned into a series on HBO. I actually watched the first season and, despite not digging fantasy stuff at all, I actually enjoyed it. A lot more backstabbing/political intrigue than hocus-pocus. In fact they really don't get into any Merlin type crap until the last episode of the season. Oh, and there are usually some boobies every episode.

Playing a game of words with friends with a girl I met last weekend. I've beaten her 3 games in a row and she made a wager for dinner to whoever loses this match. Assuming I win, do I still make her pay?? I'd go on the date just for fun as I'm not sure I'm all that into her...she's prob a 7. I do get the feeling I could

Update?? Did you win?

I'm surprised nobody hit this one out of the park....Bucky86 - You should have replied like this: "How about insted of going out for dinner, we save a little money and you can cook for me. Your place or mine, matters not. I'll supply the wine/drinks, you provide the meal. And if by some chance you beat me, I'll take you out anywhere you want to go. Deal?"

If you get multiple emails for ticket requests you cannot fill, call the Blazers' ticket office and tell them the situation and how you expected this to be received by only one person. I wouldn't do it as a complaint at first, but then fall back to the point about you filling out a single postcard if you ended up thinking you wanted to turn it into a complaint.Now the other, and possibly unrelated idea, is to take it to a local radio station and see if there's another fan out there who would fill the other ticket requests.I bet either suggestion would work....or you could just break-out that fat wallet and buy the other sets.

It wasn't that long ago that I would get drunker than a homeless guy watching Guster get lucky in his car and then I'd send a drunken PM to Tanner. Now Tanner sends me drunken texts in the middle of the night. At least I hope he's drunk.

It was like 6pm, Friendo.

Sounds awesome. Did you cover it in foil before or after the oven part? They seemed to gloss over that. Also, about how long did you have to sear it?

I didn't do anything with foil, and I seared it for somewhere between 90 seconds and two minutes - it could have been a little longer though, but I've got an induction stovetop that I don't think gets as hot as gas.

Did anyone else think you were going to start a miltary only forrest mail?Props GM. My brother has been overseas for 3 tours, and he always mentions how happy all of his guys are to read any sort of handwritten notes, even from strangers. There are a lot of enlisted guys who really don't have a lot going for them back home...so it really does mean a lot. If anyone reading this gets a chance to do anything even remotely similar...please do so.
