Final Flight of Space Shuttle

It was fitting that the final shuttle flight was completed on the last day of summer.  It was also fitting that the flight that left from Edwards Air Force Base was delayed by an hour to make sure that the fog would have lifted by the time the shuttle passed by the Golden Gate Bridge.  Isn't a photo-op flight in the Bay Area not complete if it didn't include the Golden Gate Bridge?

Do You Drop Zone?

Naomi tried out the Drop Zone at Great America recently with her cousin Kimberly.  Actually, they went on the ride (I guess it's a ride) twice. Here's one of the drops.
 

Getting Ready for Cal Basketball

Maybe this will help you Cal Bears fans forget about the awful football loss yesterday at Cal's return to Memorial Stadium...maybe not. Or for others like me, this should help you get ready for the upcoming basketball season.

This was probably one of the top two or three games that John and I ever attended in our 18 seasons or so of attending Cal basketball together, especially so because the comeback was against Stanford. The best part was that the comeback took the entire game to accomplish, which lengthened the suspense even more. Imagine a good novel with the reveal at the very end. Once the comeback started, it wasn't a certainty that the Bears would make it all the way back. It was not like Stanford played poorly. They were just in a boat with a slow leak.
