consistency...

I must make a concerted effort to keep up with this blog. It was opening day @ AT&T Park. I still have a hard time calling the park "that" name. In 2000, the venue debuted as Pac Bell Park and stayed that name for about three or four seasons, then for one season it was SBC Park. Now for the past two or three seasons its been called AT&T Park. I think the "field" should be called Willie Mays Field. Well, the Giants got their butts kicked...

film...

I am a movie fan. I just haven't written about film in this blog. I will say that I have attended the Sundance Film Festival ten years in a row. Now, that's what I consider a loyal advocate of independent film...

a rainy day in the city...

Well, we do need the rain. I'm originally from Seattle, WA, so I'm used to the rain. What I don't like about rainy days is the umbrellas. When you walk around the City like I do, you must constantly dodge umbrellas.

two pac 10 schools in the elite eight...

This proves that the Pac 10 is the best basketball conference in the NCAA. Now, UCLA needs to beat Kansas on Saturday and Oregon must upset defending champions Florida on Sunday to reach the Final Four. If this scenario comes through- UCLA will play Oregon in one of the semifinal games.

gelato...

Tango Gelato on Fillmore between California and Pine has great gelato. I usually go for the mint chip flavor. Today, I had coconut. It was good, but I'm a mint chip guy. It's best to go with your favorite...

a free basketball game...

Me and a buddy were lucky enough to get free tickets to the Warriors game versus the Timberwolves on Friday night. Golden State is finally @ full strength and they are a very entertaining team to watch. For the moment, the Warriors are in the eighth and final playoff spot in the West. BTW, Golden State defeated Minnesota led by Monta Ellis' 24 points.

march madness...

The highlight of my day was seeing Duke get beat by VCU. I wanted to watch the UCLA-Weber State game, but CBS decided that the viewers on the West Coast should watch Duke instead after UCLA started to pull away. ESPN could handle the early round games much better since they have several channels including ABC. Being a true Pac 10 backer, I was also happy that WSU won. Several so-called experts predicted an upset by Oral Roberts. Stanford proved they didn't belong in the tournament.
