Here’s the latest installment of our “Year X” series, where I try to post a collage/video based on a specific six months of time. The previous installments:
I went to a MLB game last night, my first Giants game since the early 90’s. It was neat to finally see Pac Bell/SBC/AT&T park. Jill and I used to go to games in the days of Will Clark, Robby Thompson and Brett Butler, players long since retired, so it was good to get caught up a bit.
My friend Keith came up w/ the great (and free) tickets (thanks, Keith!) He’s been a regular attendee for years, so he got a chuckle at some of my clueless comments:
“They show instant replays on the scoreboard? Cool!”
“You don’t have to make a constant, conscious effort to make sure your hat doesn’t get blown off your head and out of the stadium? (I lost a favorite cap at Candlestick by forgetting this once) Cool!”
“The relief guys warm up right there on the sidelines? Cool!”
“They come to your seat and take food orders? Really Cool!” (Now, that’s what I call progress!)
Despite the Giants basically rolling over and playing dead the entire night, I had a good time. The place had a great atmosphere and was much more family-friendly than I remembered—even with all the Dodger blue in the crowd.
I found a neat tool online, The Squirrelizer, that lets users make their own Squirrel Crasher pics. Check it out if you find yourself thinking your photographs need that little something extra.
Gpa Tom came to visit yesterday. We then all went to a birthday party for some friends in Morgan Hill. It was their son’s very first birthday, a very notable occasion.
Lucy was very excited, especially when she saw the park, grass, balloons, and all the people. She even got a lady bug (her favorite kind!) painted on her arm. The bug looked great (until Lucy rubbed her eye, smearing her ladybug and making herself look like an extra from A Clockwork Orange in the same motion).

Above are pics from a get-together we had with some friends in March (has it really been that long?) The theme was pizza, and our kind hosts Craig and Susan really stepped it up, cranking out at least a half-dozen doughy, cheesy creations! Needless to say, we were all pretty psyched.
Of course, you can’t really call it a party unless someone crosses the line and busts out the Mille Bornes game. Yep, we’re talkin’ radical, man—’cuz that’s how we roll.
