Chuck sent me this Outside the Lines piece on ESPN about Seattle sports. It’s been a bad, bad year to be a sports fan in Seattle. But I thought this quote from Big Lo put it in perspective:

“I could be depressed, but I live in the most beautiful city in the world,” Big Lo says, rooting on his city as vigorously as its teams. “We do have the bluest skies you’ll ever see. We’re an hour’s drive from the mountains. We’re an hour and 45 minutes from the ocean. We’re an hour and a half from one of the world’s most beautiful mountains. And if you need a really good cup of coffee, we’ve got it. Just don’t make it Starbucks.”

I just hope next year is better.
