Holy Saturday #2 -- March 30, 2013

Yesterday was busy at work but I was able to get out during the noon hour. The new office is not near Saint Patrick's, so I walked up Bush to Notre Dame des Victoires.  It was not as crowded as Saint Patrick's.  I stayed for the readings, then had to head back.  The weather was warm and sunny. 

My wife met me downtown about 4pm and we took a leisurely walk over to the ballpark.  It felt funny going to a game on Good Friday, but a family at Good Shepherd School had gotten a luxury box, actually two boxes, and sold tickets to raise money for the school.  Kids and parents were happy to see my wife.

The weather was nice when we got there, but it cooled off rapidly.  The Giants had lost the first game of the Bay Bridge Series against the Athletics.  Barry Zito pitched well and gave up one run.  He left with a lead and relievers held it and Sergio Romo closed.  I took the photo of Romo's teammates coming out to celebrate the victory.

This morning we went to Mazzeti's Bakery to pick up some Easter goodies. 

Holy Saturday -- April 11, 2009

We played tourist this morning, making up for a trip we weren't able to make in March. We parked at Fifth and Mission and caught the Philadelphia Cream Cheese car, 1060, to Pier 39. We walked around there a bit and enjoyed the sun. There weren't many sea lions. We walked over to the Rainforest Cafe and had lunch. Fish and chips. We caught 1895 heading back, but he stopped to pick up an inspector because he had trouble with his brake. We had to get off at the Ferry Building. We took Muni Metro out to Powell and walked over to Macys to see the flowers. It was a nice show.

Tonight we'll go Easter Vigil.
