It appears that there has been quite a lot of movement going on over in the Giant's main office this week: Rich Aurilla is back (WOOO HOOOO!!!! My all time fav is back is the Bay!), Bonds will finish it out as a Giant (Where he belongs), Molina is in and Snow is back as well (as a broadcaster? Hmm....)
All and all, this makes me very happy. However, this makes me want to puke. And this might be the funniest eBay listing of all time.
Enough baseball talk... how about some distractingly-cute photos of my niece and nephew (and my dads big head)

I Left My Heart in San Francisco....
Man I miss the city. San Jo? Not so much. But the City by the Bay? Desperately. We visited this past weekend for TNB's birthday and the Annual Cal-Stanford Big Game.
We stayed at this fun little place, which I recommend for all out-of-area visitors looking for the full "San Francisco Experience". We stayed on the top floor, which overlooked Powell St., and ate at some yummy restaurants all within walking distance.
The game was, well, the Big Game, where all bets are off and anything can happen. I think Cal was favored by 29, and they failed to even score this many points! Stanford really gave them a run for their money, but in the end, the Blue+Gold NATURALLY prevailed (not to say that they didn't leave us hanging until the VERY last play of the game).
However, the big winner of the weekend (besides finding out, at a time of total hung-over deperation, that Starbucks now offers a MEAN Spinach Florentine breakfast sandwich) was our pre-dinner cocktails on Saturday night. There is this little known bar/speakeasy that opened up in the Tenderloin called Bourbon and Branch and let me tell you, the entire experience was phenomenal. You have to make a reservation, at which time they give you their location and a password to get in for the night. Once there, the drinks were to DIE for. The entire table was more than pleased - I myself had this amazing Gimlet with cucumber-infused vodka, bitters, lemon juice and champagne. Not cheap, but I would definitely go back again. You should give it a try if you are in the area!
Tons of knitting has been going on. My fingers feel like they are going to fall off.
