I rode the world famous San Francisco cable cars to Pier 39 tonight. I walked around with a friend from work and took several pics that are now posted on the Photo page. Alcatraz, The Golden Gate Bridge and the sea lions are all viewable at Pier 39. The cable car ride takes you through China Town.

I decided not to go to the Partner Day reception tonight and instead went to he D’Backs vs Giants game at AT&T Park. I didn’t really care who won, I just wanted to see some baseball in a new park. Since I am a Braves fan I couldn’t really get into the game. I left in the 7th inning.

When I left Barry Bonds had a double and a walk. It was interesting to listen to the fans around me when Bonds is at bat compared to when he is in the field. During his at bats they all cheer him and boo the opposing pitcher if he doesn’t throw strikes. When Barry is in Left Field the fans all seen to hold their breathe when the ball goes his way. A few times Bonds had to chase the ball into the corner or the gap and, when he casually loped after the ball, the fans screamed “run Barry!” with some frustration. Although the San Francisco fans have obviously enjoyed the home run record I bet they won’t be too disappointed when Bonds retires for good.

I created a Photos Page where you can watch photo slide shows from today. I’ll keep updating this page throughout the week.
