Alphabe-Thursday - "F" is for Fabulous & Fantastic - October 28, 2010


Alphabe-Thursday - "F" is for Fabulous & Fantastic - October 28, 2010


Fabulous and fantastic pretty much describe our San Francisco Giants!  Needless to
say, this city by the bay celebrated big time last night as its baseball team won Game 1
of the world series.  I've never been a great baseball fan myself but, regardless, I always
support my home team and, like so many others, I sat glued to the t.v. set to watch the
opening game against the Texas Rangers.  I can just imagine how exciting it must have
been to be among the crowds at AT & T Park at Willie Mays Plaza!  Of course, there is
something to be said for being with your family at home, enjoying a dinner of Country
Captain ( an Indian chicken curry dish ) and Carmen's Caribbean Cocktails and not
having to wait in traffic to get home after the game. 
 
Our Giants did the fans proud and we are hoping for another win tonight.  We'll be right
there cheering you on.

Dos Hollands Delight San Francisco Fans!


What a great evening we had last night.  It was just like old times at Cafe Divine in San Francisco's North Beach.  Our beloved jazz diva, Sony Holland, and her songwriter, guitarist husband, Jerry Holland, performed for two hours to a totally packed house of her long time fans and friends.  The mood was boisterous as Sony sang old favorites and some new songs Jerry has written since the couple's move to Los Angeles.  Not only do we miss having the Hollands
in San Francisco where they performed almost weekly, we miss seeing each other on a regular basis!

Here are a few pictures of our evening which, in addition to great music, involved good food and wine!

Beautiful Sony
