On Monday night we went to the Giants game with a chance to see Barry Bonds break Hank Aaron's home run record. He didn't go yard, choosing to get number 756 the next night--what an ass. However, we did have a front row seat for Nook Logan's 193rd hit, so our grandkids will get to hear all about that. The game, and in fact our entire weekend in the Bay Area, was a total......

Want to go to the top of a very large hill, miles from the ocean and look at birds? Can't, there might be a tsunami…of boredom. Well fear not, because our own Governor Gregoire---wait 56, 57,......
