Valley of Fire today.
Egg and I for breakfast first.
Stunning.
Up at 5 and home tomorrow morning.
I tired but despite Glastonbury, it was a great holiday with family.
And I think the "girls" - Emma and Birmingham(blur) are doing ok.

Thanksgiving in Vegas was great.
Had In n' Out Wednesday night when I got in, my cousin came over and we had a great time.
Thanksgiving day - awesome.
Yesterday, girls day out. Mani/pedis. Shopping, then dinner at the VooDoo Lounge. Excellent.
Today, Glastonbury (one of my sister's Goldens) had really taken a bad turn. He was diagnosed with cancer about 2 months ago. Needless to say, it was time.
My cousin and his wife came over to stay with "the girls" - Glas' Mom and sister - while we took Glas.
My poor brother in law was a mess but their vet was fantastic.
Unbelievably sad.
Went up to Red Rock Canyon after some storm clouds rolled in and it was snowing .
My sister and I both said Glas sent us the snow. He's happy now and with Ulster, his Dad.
Went to dinner but it's an early night.
We're all so drained.

Flying night before Thanksgiving.
Airport is pretty empty.
Flying out of the international terminal likely helps!
Got tickets today for Barry Zito's holiday Strike Out For Troops party in SF on Dec 16th.
So excited! CC supports same charity and he's local. Would love it if he is there!
Swish supports it too.
I'd hyperventilate'

And post some photos but I have blurry eyes from the annual eye exam today.
Forgive me if I am misspelling anything.
Tomorrow perhaps!

Thanks everyone for the thoughts.
Sean is doing really well. Spent the afternoon with him today, heading home now.
He is out of ICU and making good progress.

Quick update, trip to NJ went great. Get home to find out my brother Sean needs open heart surgery. Triple bypass, being done now.
Will be shuttling to the hospital and work rest of week.
Tired but the tricky part of the surgery is
done.
Keep him in your thoughts.

I am also cold! Didn't get on the computer except to get tickets for the Yankees in Oakland this am.
Will update when I get home.
Kind of nice being MIA for a bit.

Got the 11 am BART to Millbrae and she picked me up.
Listening to the game on XM while walking to the station I turn it off when I no longer get reception underground. 5-0 Angels.
Disgust.
Get picked up and while on the way to Draegers (best. grocery store. ever.) I turn the radio on to get the score. Uh...WHAT? 8-5 Yankees?!
Look back when we get to the house and it's 9-8 Angels. I start cursing. The game was on TBS so we turned it on in time to see the lovely bottom of the 8th.
What fun that turned out to be.
I am very thankful for the series split.
I'd love to hate Mark Texeira for that grand slam but I really just can't.
Anyway, it was a nice day out. There was actually sunshine down the peninsula so yeah, nice day.

Today, Matsui hit HR #100 for the Yankees.
And I'm watching my old favorite Tommy Glavine go for win # 300 tonight against the Cubs.
This commercial still makes me laugh.
(oh yeah, and that other guy tied Hank Aaron yesterday - blech)
At least San Francisco was a blast.

rabkitty as well as Tonga, a Giants game and my niece's graduation.This was my home last week...
Go ( here for more )
It was a good trip. Even if it was for work!
Usually we have to rush home because Ollie needs to go out.
Today I took my time, bought a nice picture of Bernie playing guitar, a very cute baby outfit for Dianne and stopped at Lush once I got off the D train.
Little errands I'd been wanting to do and never have the chance.
There is also an advantage to having the same seat and getting to know the people around you.
Today there was a group of us yelling "Come on you big Polock!" at Mienkiewicz.
Spontaneously we all yelled it together. That was started the first game by the guy who sits next to me.
And the guy a few rows back who gets the chants going, always followed by a quieter "I love you guys!" when the response is good.
I'm glad I have no issues going places alone.
I am not going the week of June 18th so that I can catch the Yankees playing the Giants.
I will be there the week of the 11th. D'oh. Can't be helped. That damn office is in a shambles and I can't put it off that extra week.
I also get to go to Los Angeles sometime this summer.
Hmmm, perhaps I can wrangle the week of August 20th?
They just hired a new Product Line Manager for the LA office and he needs to get settled before I go out there...so it might just work. I'd prefer to go to AT&T Park (or whatever it is currently called in SF) but maybe I can work on Anaheim.
Someone actually said, "You have a lot of nerve wearing that shirt."
No, not because of the dress code, because of their record.
I looked at them calmly and replied that they criticize Yankee fans for being bandwagon fans that only root for them because they win. Yet, when they are losing you criticize a fan for wearing their team colors? Sorry, you can't have it both ways.
They are my team and I support them in good and bad times.
Has it been easier the past 10 years? yeah, it has.
But if you knew anything about me, you'd know I've been a fan my entire life not just since 1996.
As someone in Subway Squawkers said today, if the ship goes down, I'll be there with my violin.
Of course I was stuck at work until 5 waiting for one last piece of business...
Typical.
And NOW they send me to Florida.
It's going to be Miami for me in a few weeks...might only be one day (grrr!) but probably 2.
Miami wouldn't have helped me with Spring Training anyway but still.
Going down to meet with an insured and see their operation. A few other people will be there, so it should actually be fun at times.
I think I'll be staying in Coral Gables actually.
Then soon I'll be heading to San Francisco. I'm going to try to arrange that around baseball and when the Yankees are playing the Giants in June. Hope I can pull that off.
Went to Dianne's last night to hang out, have dinner, watch a movie.
Now, some of you know but the big news this year is that she is pregnant.
I've known since before she went to the Dr. for confirmation - but she is now showing.
She's about 5 months pregnant and had ultrasound photos from Wednesday.
So amazing. It's a boy - proof on one of the photos with a "Boy" and arrow to the little pee-pee. hee hee!
Since I was in GA during her first pregnancy and didn't get to hang around Brian until he was 18 months old...I'm excited.
She's due the first week in July.
We want her to have the boy on 7/7/07 but that is a Saturday and she's having Ceasarian.
I believe the names right now are Jonathan Robert (Robert for her Dad) and calling him Jack or Christopher Robert (sounds a lot like Christopher Robin and we had a good giggle over that)
She did dismiss our suggestions of calling him Mo (thought Mo Quinn was good!) and Melky (ha!).
Her sister went through every Yankee she could think of from the past 30 years.
Bucky? Donnie? Tino? Derek? Robinson? Paul? Bubba? (ok, that was mine...as well as Melky....well, me and Tara)
