Super Bowl Bunny

 Well, Bad Bunny was the highlight yesterday. OK, that and the bratwurst at Heidi and Rob's. We were glad that the Seahawks won and the kicker guy deserves a raise. Ozzie the cat had his back to the tv as I made nonsensical and uneducated comments about "the pocket" and the red zone. Now, let us focus on baseball again, right?

Sunday in New Orleans

 I have vivid memories of rushing home from the Big Box Borders to watch the Super Bowl with Husbando, especially the ads and sometimes the game itself. Today I asked the Blogmaid to text me when and where it all starts because I like Taylor Swift and those lovable Clydesdale horses and delightful dogs. Maybe even the half time show. We shall see...

over and out

 Well, that was a l-o-n-g game, but not too boring. The Niners lost, as you know. I didn't fall in love with any of the ads, nor with Usher, but it was fun for Kansas City and Taylor Swift fans and now we can look ahead to baseball and I think I will buy a couple of tickets today, just for the heck of it. Onward.

here we go again

 Even I watched the 49er playoff game last night. It was exciting, especially texting with the Blogmaid because we are both baseball fans. OK, ok ~ I'm glad the Niners won.

Sunday morning, Sunday afternoon

 Heidi and I picked up trash without Emma for the first time, but we were assigned the street where she used to live and I pretended to find something on her stairs. Then we had lattes and chatted and I prepared for the Super Bowl by cooking and yes, I hate the whole thing. It was an exciting game and I do not care for football. I do enjoy the ads, of course. Today = culture at SF Moma.

very mild 49er sadness

 You People on Netflix had some VERY luke warm reviews but I'm glad I watched it after the icky football game. I like Eddie Murphy and Julia Louis-Dreyfus so much that I would put up with a whole lot of cliches just to watch them. Jonah Hill = meh. 

in the background

 The Santa Clara 49ers won the Wildcard game yesterday and yes, I did have it on TV, checking the score every now and then. Such a vicious game. When do pitchers and catchers report?

the grove and the bowl

 We widows had a Valentine lunch celebration yesterday outside in Pat's Grove ~ quiche, salad, gooey dessert and (of course) coffee. Lovely. Then I rushed home to watch the wrong team win again, but of course I loved the Super Bowl commercials. 

no real sorrow for football

 We lost to the LA Rams yesterday. That's OK, it's not like BASEBALL, not really that important. I had to watch of course and now to prepare for Super Bowl Sunday in two weeks. Go Bengals!

what a weekend

 I watched too much football this weekend what with the 49ers and my stepson's Buffalo team.  Next Sunday we play down in LA la land and the cheapest seat is $500. It's fun to be in the playoffs even though I will never really LOVE football. Fun to text during the games, though.

why I prefer baseball

 I did watch (sort of) the wild card game yesterday, mainly because I so dislike Texas and they lost and I rejoiced (sort of) because the 49ers won. But such a violent game. Football is easy to mute and I was able to read a lot and cat cuddle too. 

Super Bowl Sunday

 I don't like football, Kansas, Missouri or Florida and of course didn't really care who won, but I did watch and mute some of the game. I started with popcorn and a Mexican Coke® and then nice neighbor Lynn from Puerto Rico brought me miso soup that she learned to make when she lived in Japan. So I got out of the midwest and icky Florida and celebrated diversity, SF style. 

here is a bit of hope for change

 Behold Bill Belichick, head coach of the New England football team. He used to be a pal of tRump, but yesterday he turned down the Presidential Medal of Freedom because he was disgusted with the riots in Washington, DC. I'm not a great football fan, but this action pleased me greatly. 

city love on steroids

Palmyra Syrian restaurant on Haight Street

Such a delight talking to this Niner fan last night

 Red and Gold low rider style in the Mish

Yesterday I had lunch with Stephen (long story) at Palmyra, a Syrian
restaurant at Haight and Pierce Streets. Delicious. Then for dinner I
met Terri at Paprika for yummy chicken paprikash and a delightful mess of
Super Bowl excitement, Mission District style. Low riders, horns, flags,
congestion beyond belief. One full Saturday in and about this crazy
and colorful city. How could I possibly live anywhere else?

back to the bowl

Of course I have theater in two weeks when the Niners will be in Miami.
But yesterday was fun TV over at the Great Plotniks with delicious guac
snacks and enchiladas at half time. I really don't like football, but they
are the HOME team and Jimmy G. is gorgeous. Congrats, Team!

big steps for real change

Alyssa Nakken ~ SF Giants

Katie Sowers ~ SF Niners

Katie Sowers is a coach for the 49ers and now we have Alyssa Nakken as the
first woman full-time baseball coach for our Giants. San Francisco has a ton
of issues and serious problems, but my City still makes me proud.

it officially started yesterday

Super Bowl 50 ~ fanfare galore. The best part is that the Bay Bridge light
show was turned on again last night, here to stay this time. "They" gave
the local fans an extra weekend of music, $10 beer, activities, etc. before
the out-of-towners arrive tomorrow. There was a big fireworks display too,
and we watched it all on TV and yes, there were hordes of people down
there in person. The homeless population has been moved out to the
nabes and now you want to know how that is working with the people
who just spent 1.5 plus million on a tiny new home? Colorful tent
cities have sprung up and I will try to get some photos for you...

the horridness approaches

down by City Hall ~ wake us when it's all over (2/8) ~ we hate football

 

 

 

49ers lose - baseball soon?

Yesterday the Niners did not play as well as the Seahawks and we will not
be going to the Super Bowl. That does not upset us, I mean it's not
baseball, for heaven's sake. I worked most of the day, but got home in
time to see some messy interceptions and assorted grown man silliness.
Our Giants pitchers and catchers will report in less than 30 days...

super bowl sunday

This didn't work

This did

Yesterday we drove over to Point Richmond for the 2 pm show "Expecting
Isabel" at the Masquers Playhouse. My friend Pamela's husband Richard
played five roles and he did a GREAT job. This is his first acting stint and
he's already lined up another role. The play by Lisa Loomer is about a couple
who have trouble conceiving. I might have cut a few scenes, but we were
glad we went, not only to support Richard, but to spend a little time walking
around this small town that is bucolic and fun, but obviously suffered during
George Bush's Recession.

We came home in time to watch too much football. It did get exciting at
the end, but I would have cut a few scenes. Congrats to Baltimore!
