A weekend of opposites.

gridloreWe had such plans for the weekend.
Saturday, we went to see the Sparks (ny younger nieces' softball team) play. We have been informed that we are official good luck charms, since they always win whenkshandra and I show up. Trying to make more games!
After that, the plan was to go up to the San Francisco Opera's costume sale. We got there, and found a line that stretched two blocks. We decided against it. In retrospect, seeing what others bought for almost nothing, that was a mistake. Hindsight is so annoying.
Being in Baghdad by the Bay, we decided to play tourist and take the long way around to the zoo. Except.. where the hell did all this traffic come from? SOMA was nearly gridlocked! It took both our skills as former City residents and SuperShuttle drivers to figure out a way out of that mess. Made it Geary, all the way out to Great Highway, and down to Sloat and the zoo.
Can I just say that San Francisco remains the city of my heart? I'm home when I'm there. I want to win the lottery just so we can get a condo near AT&T Park. Everything else is gravy.
Anyway, we get to the zoo.. and there is not parking anywhere. Defeated a second time, we make the short drive to The Boulevard Cafe for lunch. At least we got good food out of the day.
But Sunday.. Sunday was much better. We had tickets to the first home game for the San Jose SaberCats against the Philadelphia Soul. The result?
San Jose SaberCats: 70
Philadelphia Soul: 33
We had amazing seats:
And the SAP Center/Shark Tank/Cats' Lair has upgraded the entire sound and visual experience.
We also got tons of swag. Free t-shirts, programs, coupon books, stuff from the new casino in downtown.. pretty impressive. They gave us a 2X shirt for Kiri, we'll probably give that tomadelineusher.
After the game we hit Chili's for a late dinner; and one of the Sabercats players was at another table. Pretty cool.
Today, I am all kinds of sore. But my calender is empty until next Sunday, so I can rest a little.
