Niners!

Jumping on the 49er bandwagon, the wife and I were stoked by Saturday's victory. One hell of a game, whoever your team is. I wonder if #1 can come up with a plausible explanation as to how his mediocre, non-playoff Cowboys managed to beat the Niners this year. We'll see. And now my team takes on the NY Giants, the team of my youth. We caught the Packers/Giants game at the Exec's house yesterday. He was making noises about having an NFC Championship get together at his place next week. We'll see if he comes through. If he does, I'll make a pile of my signature brisket for an early dinner. I am not expecting #1 to be invited.

After the Giant's game, the wife and I had a date night. We had a convivial dinner at the Presidio Social Club although, much like Lady Gaga, we are caught in a bad romance. SF's Dine About Town is on and brought us north. We were discussing this during the meal. We thought there was a paucity of high end restaurants participating, which we had recalled from years past. But that may be hooey as cognitive ability can diminish past age 45. Regardless, PSC offers good food in an inviting atmosphere, plus easy parking in the big city.

On the subject of urban chow, I got some snail mail from The Wolv recently, with the below article included. We like to go old school now and then and exchange an actual letter. But I was surprised that he was reading the WSJ. I thought he was more of a NY Post or NY Daily News kind of guy. He suggested I try to pull off an SF version. Yelp is alleging 391 pizza by the slice joints in the SF. That sounds like a retirement project. I'd like to move back after chucking the daily grind, but my wife is threatening to pack us off to Sonoma. A solid decade back in the city by the bay before I lapse into permanent geezerhood is preferred.

SB1 headed back to DC for his final semester Saturday. My big boy intends to stick in DC afterward. I'm getting old. My girl has been diligently rehabbing and I hope to see her back on the court in a few months. I just wish she'd call me as much as she does her mom. I like girl talk as much as anybody. SB2 is still here pushing me around.

The FC boys are getting together for a walk this morning. I may be joining them. I just need to brace myself for a hug o rama first.
