The second weekend of the New Year is upon us! Apologies if you were looking for the Weekend Roundup last Thursday, but I was down for the count for a few days. Anyway, I’m back up and while we’re all holding our breath for Sonics news, let’s not forget that the Seahawks are in the playoffs this weekend – and apparently the East coast did not get the message about time zones… the game is on at 10am local time, so if you’re a late sleeper, set your alarm!
