November Weather

I love the changing seasons.  I love it when holiday time hits, the weather calms to a chilly 65 degrees or lower, it's time to pull out the flannel sheets, hot chocolate and apple cider, and cuddle up with your loved ones.

I don't love this SoCal weather schizophrenia.

Already we've bounced back and forth from chilly and dreary rains, being curled up in layers of blankets and snuggled in front of the fireplace, to 97-100 degree days without a cloud in sight.  This has been going on from week to week since mid-October.

Grr!

It's cooler this week (THANK YOU JESUS!) but I'm nowhere near placing any bets that it will stay this way.  All this flippity-flopping makes for a ripe cold and flu season.  People are pumping the heat to buzzing the AC, slurping down ice cold drinks to sipping piping hot lattes, cozying up in jackets and scarves to strolling in shorts and tank tops.  Geez!

Please let the weather stay mild from here on out.  Pretty, pretty please?

It's a GIANTs year!

After so much TORTURE...us SF Giants fans kept encouraging each other: DON'T STOP BELIEVING, even when the LIGHTS go down on the city.  As hitter after hitter grew to FEAR THE BEARD, got struck down by SHOTGUN CAIN, were shutdown by a ROOKIE BUM(garner), and learned all too well about THE FRANCHISE, we stood strong.  As pitchers discovered ROSS IS BOSS even when he SMILES, what PAT THE BAT could do, the double-power of SANCHITO, the shadow of ANDREs THE GIANT, and saw some of KUNG FU PANDA'S moves, we inched forward, clawing and digging our way on.  The HUFFINATOR kept swingin' and we saw BUSTER move.  Uuuuuu-RIBE kept us on our toes and RENTY brought us home.  We were the underdogs all the way--just as we like it.  Waving RALLY RAGS and RALLY THONGS, we knew our boys could do it.

And the Rangers LEFT THEIR HEARTs IN SAN FRANCISCO.

2010 WORLD SERIES SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS!!!

HUMM BABY!
