Not what I expected at all. I mean finally doing it. Â The three of us watched from the couch. Â My wife had a look of constant dread the entire game (1962, 1989 and 2002 scars run deep) and when Cruz hit the dinger, she went completely white. Â I helped my son with his calculus through the top of the 9th and he assured us that a 2 run cushion was plenty with Lincecum, Lopez and/or Wilson ready to finish it off. Â So they clinched, my son said "This is kind of anticlimactic," and my wife promptly fell asleep. Â Then the guys next door shot off fireworks and people were screaming in the streets, and you could tell this is a BIG DEAL.
There is good and bad to having an office on Market Street. Â I would have a great view of the parade if I didn\'t have a site visit scheduled in the East Bay at 1. Â What are the chances of making my way to the Bridge through a million people and a thousand burning couches? Â Looks like I\'m missing the parade. Dammit.
My son and I plan to haul our butts down to Stanford Stadium Saturday evening no matter how many others do. Â There are six million people in the Bay Area. Â You wouldn\'t think filling that stadium for a top 15 match-up would be that tough.

Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working .I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. Peter Gibbons
