Too much fun?

I couldn't resist another picture of crazy morning fog formations. This is on my way to work a week or so ago. A dark wall of fog was to the west (right)and some of it was spilling over UCSF and Mt. Sutro towards the east (left). The distinct layer of flowing fog was really impressive.







Last week I went to my first Giants game with George and some of his co-workers. SF played the Cubs in the fastest 9 innings ever. The Giants imploded in the 8th or 9th inning to lose something like 5-1. I would put money on there being an equal number of Chicago fans as Giants fans--there was way more cheering for the Cubbies. The ball park is very nice, but I must say that PNC Park has a much more impressive setting, and the food is WAY better in the 'Burgh. Probably cheaper, too. I got mustard all over my wrist splint. I'm sure there was mustard in my hair, too, but George probably didn't tell me so he could make fun of me later. I am possibly the sloppiest eater when it comes to getting stuff all over my face and hair. Yuck.


Friday night, I went to see Wilco in Berkeley at the Greek Theater. I went with George and Suchita, the Transfusion Medicine fellow. The concert was amazing. They played 2 sets and 2 encores, for a total of about 3 hours of music. They played an even mixture of their latest album, "sky blue sky, " and their last 3 or 4 albums. Listening to "California Stars" lying on a grass slope in an amphitheater with a view across the Bay was almost too much for a girl from Pittsburgh!


Two days later, I went to my first live golf event, the US Amateur Championship (the same tourney Tiger won 3 times in a row) that was held at the Olympic Club in the southwestern part of the city. The final match was a head-to-head points game (not stroke play) between two guys George and I dubbed "Chunky" and "Skinny." Chunky (a.k.a. Colt Knost--I'm not kidding here) pulled it out in the end. It was a pretty tame event and a pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon, strolling up and down nicely manicured hills, people watching.
