The Seattle Seahawks will ride down 4^th Avenue this morning in celebration of their Super Bowl win. Friends set their alarm clocks for before sunrise to bundle up and commute into the big city seeking a good spot along the parade route.

Amid all the seriousness of life, a community celebration of sports may seem trivial, but for all the rallying we have done around tragic events, a joyful gathering seems a perfect place to touch down one’s heart.                                            

Congratulations to a team of fine athletes, good men and a coach who leads with grace – all the way into the end zone.
