The postseason is in the air this week, starting with girls sports Tuesday and continuing with football this Friday.

Five area postseason girls events are scheduled for 5 p.m. Tuesday.

In volleyball, Chief Sealth visits Foster at that time as Evergreen entertains Cedarcrest and Ballard meets West Seattle at Blanchet.

Chief Sealth visits Nathan Hale in girls soccer as Kennedy Catholic goes down to Tacoma to play Stadium.

The Kennedy Catholic volleyball team visits Auburn-Riverside at 7:15 p.m. and the Highline volleyball team waits until 5:30 p.m. Thursday to take on Interlake at Mercer Island.

Friday's football action starts at 6:30 p.m. as Chief Sealth visits Olympic in a Class 2A playoff.

West Seattle journeys to Kennewick for a 2 p.m. Saturday Class 3A playoff.  It will take place at Lampson Stadium.

In a time marked by news of government budget cuts and the cancellation of programs designed to provide a safety net for local residents, as well as waves of layoffs sweeping through the region, many people are wondering how to both give and receive help. Local West Seattle writer Marie McKinsey addressed this concern by compiling a comprehensive list of non-profit organizations and programs in a post titled, "Ways To Give and Get Help in West Seattle, White Center, and Burien" on her personal blog, Where I am Now.net

I've always had a thing for Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson. Part of that gang of musicians who broke free of Nashville control and made Austin a big name for country music.
And I was friends with one of those singer/songwriters but didn't know it.
