(Today’s title is in honor of the final demise of the telegraph in the U.S., which happened this week.)

Everybody here is on something (edge, tiptoes, pins and needles, or just on something) for tomorrow’s Super Bowl. Sultan is on U.S. Highway 2 on the way to Stevens Pass, and the normal rush of skiers that comes back down the pass on Sunday afternoons in winter is heading down on Saturday this weekend.

Anya’s school held a pep rally for the Seahawks yesterday, and Anya went in full regalia: blue and green clothing, blue and green face paint, and a big “12” on her forehead. Very cute.

Of course, nobody’s giving the Seahawks much of a chance in this game. However, the Seahawks’ coach -- Mike Holmgren -- was the coach of the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XXXI and XXXII. In the second game, nobody gave the opposing Denver Broncos much chance either, but as most of our family will recall, they won anyway. Hopefully Coach Holmgren remembers it.
