Can I vibe with you? Can I be real with you?

I love it here, just love the hell out of it and I don’t want to leave. But at the same time I am chomping at the bit to get started on my next cycle of work and I can’t wait to get back to Canada to get started. Plus, I am excited to watch Spring spring back home.

“So what did you get up to yesterday, Sean?”
Thanks! I am so glad you asked.

Started out in Japantown. Me, Rando Calrissian, and Dee.

“By the way, good job on the square pictures all over the place. We’re not already busy enough. We really need to edit photos on top of it all.”
Wiseguy!

After lunch, we did some strolling about town and came upon City Hall. I got a shitty picture of it from the inside of a bus a few days previous, but that did not do justice to the beauty of the building. Rand, Dee, we have to go in there.

Down into the underground….

… to take the B.A.R.T. train…

…to Oakland! Welcome to the Oakland Coliseum for tonight’s game between the Oakland Athletics and the Tamba Ray Devil Rays.

Hold on a sec. What’s that?

Oh… OK.

It seems they are no longer called the Devil Rays, just the Rays. But that makes me think of Man Ray, Salvador Dali’s collaborator, so they are henceforth to be known as the Tampa Bay Man Rays.

It’s a swing and a home run for the first batter of the game. It’s one/nothing Rays before we even sit down.

Crosby! Come on, bud, Jell-O Puddin’ Pops. That’s the way, Crosby.

“What’s the score?”

Eight/nothing Rays in the fifth inning.

I was just in the bar and there were these cute little giggle girls all going up and ordering Red Headed Sluts. Yes, I’ll take seven.

Oh what’s this? A rally in the eighth inning! Home Run Oakland! Another man home, it’s eight to two!

That was a very anti-climactic ninth inning. Final Score: Man Rays 8, A’s 2.

“So why is everyone rushing the field?”

For the fireworks!

Good night!
