Monday Roundup: beer, ball and tats
Monday Roundup: beer, ball and tats...
Went beer tasting yesterday. OK, that’s not really accurate. When you go wine tasting, they have those buckets you toss your unused wine into. “Hmmm, this one is too young. No thank you, wine pourer. I’m leaving room for the food you aren’t providing.” (Yes, you’re...

You ever have people ask you sports questions that are impossible to answer? If I had a dollar for how many times my fiance walked into the living room, looked at the score and said, “What’s the matter with the Giants?” I’d have enough money to buy a 6-pack of PBR at AT&T...

It’s a full day when in the morning you ran alongside (and dodged) thousands of drunken Bay To Breakers revelers and still managed to listen to Marty Lurie for a full two hours in the evening while making Pad Thai. Mmmm, Pad Thai. No costumes for the fiance and I, just our normal running clothes....

Trust me, it’s knock on wood time. Knock on wood, formica, granite, steel, plastic, whatever’s around you. Because even reading this will implicate you, too. But … Aren’t you so glad we’re in the 2010′s? Forget politics, world affairs, natural disasters, Wall Street,...

Can’t remember a time like this, when every single Bay Area pro squad seemed relevant in some way or another. That doesn’t mean they’re all doing well, just that you can bring them up without seeming like a PR-person for the team you’re talking about. Let’s dive in, short...

One of my main philosophies in life is “don’t get your hopes up.” And I am absolutely maniacal in my attempts to keep my hopes at subpar levels. For instance, I’ll never jinx my favorite team, even if they have the most insurmountable lead in the history of insurmountable leads....

To truly enjoy the Vancouver Winter Olympics is to enjoy the imperfections. Sort of like walking to work in San Francisco. The weather isn’t always the best, and sometimes you see people yelling and crying for no discernible reason other than attention seeking. But the scenery’s pretty good,...

Anyone paying any sort of attention knows that hockey isn’t necessarily a hot-button issue on BASG. In fact, the Sharks are usually only mentioned when I throw out quantifiers while complaining about the state of Bay Area sports. As in, “Besides the Sharks, all the other teams around here...

It’s the time of year when you’re supposed to forget your problems. Don’t have a job? At least you have your health. Don’t have much money in your bank account? At least you have a roof over your head. Don’t have a good team to root for in your Greater Metro Area? At least...

Getting Married – San Jose Sharks ...
This last weekend was one of my best friend’s wedding and I was one of her maids of honor. Beyond my typical maid of honor duties (providing sparkling wine, getting mani-pedis, interviewing strippers for the bachelorette) I was responsible for giving a toast at the wedding. Anyone who knows me,...
