Well I was pretty surprised by the performance of the hometown Seahawks. Looks like I may have underestimated them. Can they beat Brett Favre and the Packers in Green Bay next week??? Well, for now you will have to wait. I will be releasing my predictions on Friday for the Divisional round.
2007 NFL Playoff Record:
3-1
We have finally reached the NFL playoffs and I have to say that I am actually 
pretty excited. The local Seattle Seahawks are in the playoffs, and we have the possibility of witnessing the second undefeated season in the history of the NFL. The top two teams in each conference have a bye this week, so I guess we are stuck watching the “working middle class” this weekend.
Here are my picks:
Redskins will go into Seattle and win easily, but not a blowout: 28-14
Jaguars will also win on the road in Pittsburgh. I predict a tight game: 24-21
The well-rested Buccaneers will lose big to the Giants: 35-10
And the only home team that will win this weekend… the Chargers should handle the injury depleted Titans: 28-10
My Grandma has dementia…
Not an easy thing to deal with. Not for me, not for my parents, not for my sister, and especially not for my Grandma. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit her last fall and it was a very strange thing to be able to look at her and know that she doesn’t really understand her 
surroundings. She was able to remember me and we even had a few laughs about my childhood. She also got to meet my wife which was great.
Now my Mom and her siblings have to figure out how to take care of her. Do they move her in with one of them? Try assisted living? Nursing home? None of them are great choices which makes the decision quite difficult.
I know what you are thinking… and no I didn’t name this blog post “The Savages” based on my family. I actually went to see a great movie last Tuesday called The Savages. It is about a highly educated brother and sister who suddenly get a call from Arizona regarding their father. They haven’t spoken to him in what seems like quite a few years and he is in the later stages of dementia. It stars Laura Linney and (my all-time favorite actor) Phillip Seymor Hoffman.
I believe it is still playing at the Landmark Harvard Exit if you feel up to seeing it.
