Posted on 2022-06-17 by Holly

Again this morning, I was the only pedestrian on the walk between my hotel and the convention center. Oh wait! I forgot about the jogger. Can’t forget about the oblivious guy with headphones crossing the freeway entrances against the light. … Continue reading →

and so not

Posted on 2022-04-20 by Holly

squeaking by, that is. Baltimore managed to get a run early on in the afternoon game rescheduled from the evening. The As, in spite of multiple opportunities didn’t manage even one measly run. They had more hits. In fact, in … Continue reading →

Squeaking by

Posted on 2022-04-19 by Holly

I am failing to add pictures today for several reasons – the main one being that photos taken with a  phone from Right Field don’t really show anything. That is, if there was anything to show. You guessed it –  … Continue reading →

They won

Posted on 2022-04-18 by Holly

Ok. I should be jumping up and down to celebrate. The As won their Opening Night game. Yes, they won. The pitching was alright. The hitting was barely enough; at least they made no fielding errors. And that is where … Continue reading →

Some progress

Posted on 2022-04-17 by Holly

There are days when I work on a number of projects – ranging from stitching to cleaning to reading or machine embroidery. And sometimes within a category the item/s are one or many. Today was a bit more sensible. From … Continue reading →

By one point

Posted on 2022-02-24 by Holly

It was a busy day. Alex was seen by Ortho who scheduled him for surgery next Wednesday. Even better – they think they might be able to put him into a boot by two week after which means that he … Continue reading →

Out of the running

Posted on 2020-10-08 by Holly

Well, it was a good effort – at least through the first of the wild card playoffs – the As managed to squeak by the Chicago White Sox. Then, down two games in the second series, they managed to pull … Continue reading →

It just isn’t the same

Posted on 2020-08-02 by Holly

Yes, I am more than comfortable, sitting in our back bedroom/guest room/TV room with baseball on the television, but it just is not the same. Not like sitting the ball park. Not being surrounded by fellow noisy (and noise making … Continue reading →

But there isn ‘t any baseball!

Posted on 2020-04-19 by Holly

Last year, or perhaps it was the year before, I added the Oakland Athletics Schedule to my calendar. It provided me regular notice on the games including whether they were home or away so that I could plan the rest … Continue reading →

In spite of themselves

Posted on 2019-09-29 by Holly

Clearing off the baseball stuff first. Thanks to the records of other teams – the As will host the American League Wild Card game on Wednesday. Which is good considering that they lost the last two games of the season … Continue reading →

Fantastic First Inning

Posted on 2019-09-21 by Holly

Arranging to meet Noah at the Coliseum BART station from his flight from San Diego – I dragged him to the As game before releasing him to take a break. It was a good game, with the As scoring an … Continue reading →

KC? Really

Posted on 2019-09-16 by Holly

I mean. Seriously. I returned the rental car this morning at San Diego Airport. Picked up a physical boarding pass from Southwest Airlines and worked my way through the usual disorder of TSA. Of note is that the USO is … Continue reading →

Too many appointments

Posted on 2019-08-30 by Holly

A long time ago – oh let us say May – I made a couple of appointments for myself. Figured that George would be well past the time that he needed to go to UCSF twice a week, and besides, … Continue reading →

More purple

Posted on 2019-08-25 by Holly

There was something I read the other day about the change in colors in the evening sky. Comments about more of a purple hue after sunset. So, for a few days, I took a picture (please ignore the lights – … Continue reading →

Missing my kitchen fairy

Posted on 2019-07-17 by Holly

some how, in my willingness to ship off Engineer Guy to six weeks of internship in Connecticut, I forgot an import point. One of his main contributions to the household since returning from school in San Diego has been taking … Continue reading →

two is a lonely number

Posted on 2019-07-13 by Holly

I looked at those two flamingos – and all the empty space around them. Sad.   so there are now four birds (these two also have solar cells attached). I am taking my entertainment where I can find it – … Continue reading →

Too far to the game

Posted on 2019-07-05 by Holly

Since yesterday was a holiday – the waiting room at UCSF was jammed to the gills with both the Friday and Thursday patients. Since there was little to no traffic, the drive in went smoothly, the clinic was running at … Continue reading →

Not Vanished

Posted on 2019-07-02 by Holly

A quick summary: Contrary to public opinion, none of us have up and vanished. Life has just been a bit of a slog, more so probably for George than the rest of us, but still, the days have sort of … Continue reading →
