Bad puns
At first it was cute – the renaming of the basketball court to Ballhalla. But it is starting to get old for me. Yes, the team is the Valkyries. I went to look at the Wiki article. There are obviously … Continue reading

LightHouse
and a squeak by win for the Valkyries. I think I mentioned that I have season tickets. The home games are in Chase Center, SF in one of the revitalized areas of the city. Yes, I think a lot of … Continue reading

Yes, those are baseball teams
after trading a few email with a friend who is located in the US, I figured I should quickly expand on something I mentioned last night. The Giants (San Francisco), the Mets (NYC), the Yankees (NYC), the Twins (Minnesota), the … Continue reading

and Again
It was the real first game for the Valkyries. They started strong but seemed to run out of energy the second half and had just too many turnovers (missed passes, poor shots) resulting in a loss to the LA Sparks … Continue reading

Day 3 – Poll Worker
Today’s biggest challenges stemmed from disappointing people. We have posted hours. We don’t choose the hours, the hours are regulated. No, we can’t accept your ballot outside of those times. We are closed before opening and after closing. There are … Continue reading

You have to hand it to them. Nothing like taking advantage of a chance to use a horrible pun or co-opt a holiday that really does not have the same kind of ownership that other holidays have.. In this case, … Continue reading

I actually have a calendar in a bound journal in which to track stitching, projects, and release dates for stitch-a-longs – among other things. The additional fancy pages and suggested challenges are beyond what I wish to play. But the … Continue reading

and today 0715
Again, no cat early this morning. In fact, I woke at 0715, light shining in the window and a feeling that something must be wrong. No cat. Oh dear. Swinging my legs out of bed, there was this scurrying sound … Continue reading

WBIT
Looks and sounds like those responsible should have come up with a better name. It stands for Women’s Basketball Invitational Tournament. California (UC Berkeley specifically since it is considered the MAIN CAL school) landed a slot and the first game … Continue reading

Perhaps there is a floor
in my craft room after all. At least I think I can walk across it now without too many things going crunch or me slipping and falling down. I am still trying to figure out completely what goes where. But … Continue reading

They Won!
I shouldn’t be so surprised, but the Cal Women’t Basketball team managed to pull off an 81-79 win in overtime. The overtime was caused by some of the worse officiating any of us have seen all year. In the last … Continue reading

It is Sunday. The Football playoffs are still underway. It was snowing in Buffalo which amazingly seemed to be worse for the home team than the visiting Bengals. In local news, the 49ers managed to hold on to their ‘one … Continue reading

StitchCon 2022
