Do You Know The Way To San Jose?

...Or, "I went to San Francisco for my birthday and didn't get to see Barry Bonds."

Family tradition has it that we go to see a baseball game on my birthday. This year rolled around and I flew out to the Bay Area from Chicago. One problem, the Giants were on the road! Well, the big Giants were, San Jose hosted Modesto. Here's a look at what my new digital camera can do:

It was a weird game... The Giants pulled their starter, who had a no-hitter through six, only to give up eight runs in the seventh.


Krazy George
Krazy George, a person many people credit with inventing "The Wave." I need to learn a little more about red-eye reduction, but on the other hand, a person who could create The Wave is probably a little demonic.
