A great weekend and more football pain

I had an overall nice long weekend. I took Friday off to hit the slopes for the first time this season and remembered why I love snowboarding. The snow was great and I’m glad that we went on Friday as the crowds were in full force on Saturday. Sitting in hours of traffic is something that is just too costly for me nowadays.

On Friday night, I hung out with high school friends and it was great to see everyone. We’ve been friends for almost 20 years at this point. Then Sophia came back home on Saturday and we had a nice dinner at The Progress for an early birthday celebration.

Of course, I was hoping for a perfect ending to the weekend with a 49ers win in the Super Bowl. But it wasn’t meant to be. We played a great game, but eventually had one too many mistakes. Against Patrick Mahomes, you have to be nearly perfect and we were one notch below that.

It was another brutal loss and the 2023-2024 season for both my college and pro teams will always be known as the 2nd place year. Losing in the Natty and Super Bowl is always hard, but in the same year, it’s devastating. I know I’m far from being a tortured sports fan… even getting to the championship games in both college and the NFL is something that most people dream about.

Both the Huskies and Niners will be back. There’s always next year.
