I got some shots from Levi’s Gran Fondo. Pictures were actually decent and unlike most races you didn’t have to pay $80 for a picture.

We were lucky enough to check out the USC v Cal game. I figured we needed to go. How often are Cal games in SF? Never. It was something we may never see again in our lifetimes so I thought I’d check it out.

Even though I’m 30 now, Halloween is a fun holiday if only to try and come up with amusing costumes. We didn’t really think about it but we came up with Scarface and Scarface’s wife Elvira Hancock. Didn’t think about it as an inter-racial couple costume but it just worked out that way.
