Fear the Beard

Hi,

Well I don't talk about it much on this blog but if you've looked at a few of my pictures, you might've guessed that I am a pretty big San Francisco Giants fan. I have followed them loyally for many years and finally we are back at the World Series. Lucky for my family, we had season tickets this year.

The Best part about season tickets is that if the team makes the playoffs, you have first crack at playoff tickets at face value. Yes sir. I have been lucky enough to go to Game 1 of the NLDS against the Braves and Game 3 of the NLCS against the Phillies. It's funny because I was a little anxious nervous for those first few series but now for the World Series I am just REALLY excited. How excited? I'll leave you with a mental image of me fist pumping my way down highway 680 as Taio Cruz' "Dynamite" played in the background. This is going to be a lot of fun and needless to say, I can't wait for tonight.

Go Giants!

And for those of you who aren't big baseball fans, the title in this post refers to the Giants closer Brian Wilson and his insane black dyed beard. I left you a picture just in case.

The Bo

Hi,

So it's Monday afternoon and I am in a pretty decent mood. The Giants had an improbable comeback yesterday, my left cheek is feeling better (see post below,) and my little boy Noah has been a sleeping machine. I am telling you, from Thursday through Sunday, he slept more than 8 hours in a row all 4 nights. Nothing quite like the feeling of waking up in the morning and saying to yourself, "Holy Crap, I feel kind of rested!" Not only am I rested and happy but Noah has been smiling at EVERYTHING. I wiggle my finger, he smiles, I stick out my tongue, he smiles, he poops his pants, he smiles...and I laugh a little also :)

So you are probably wondering what "The Bo" is. Well, in short, it's Noah. Steph and I end up doing this weird thing where we have nicknames for our dog "Mila" and Noah that start with the word "The." Mila's nickname is "The B" and Noah's nickname has started to become "The Bo" This has led to a trend where I call Steph and I immediately ask her how the BeeBo is doing, of course referring to our dog and our son. It started out innocent enough when we first got Mila, Steph started calling her Mila Bila, because it rhymes of course. Eventually that turned into Mila B, eventually shortening to B and finally settling on The B. I have no idea why we needed an article in front of her nickname but it just felt like it was supposed to be there. You can probably see where this is going as Steph started calling our son Noah Boah, and rather than go through the motions it became The Bo right away. The only problem we foresee with The Bo is that is sounds like The Beau, as in boyfriend or whatever...so in general, pretty cheesy. Ahh well, I am sure will figure it out but for now whenever I refer to The B or The Bo, now you will know what I am talking about.

Well, that's my update for today. Enjoy this most recent picture of Noah supporting the Giants!
