Who's House? - Our House!

Well ladies and gentlemen, last night in the great city of San Francisco, there stood two teams. On one side of the court was the arch nemesis Lowell Cardinals and on the other side stood our Lady Mustangs of Lincoln High School. The event, the San Francisco High School Girls basketball Championship. It was a brisk evening in the historic Kezar Pavilion in Golden Gate Park. Camera crews from Comcast Cable were in attendance to capture the meeting between the two storied programs. Once the introductions were made, it was game time. Lincoln started off very sluggish while nothing could go wrong for Lowell. By halftime Lowell had built up a four point lead. While we were being treated to a cheer leading demonstration courtesy of the Lincoln Cheer squad, one can only imagine what was going on in the Mustang's locker room. Was the coach pulling out her Knute Rockne speech or simply pleading for the girls to pull it together. We may never know. As the second half started it was evident that whatever had transpired , provided the needed spark to ignite the Lady Mustangs. They simply held Lowell to single digits in the second half while building a double digit lead which they never relinquished. As the final seconds ticked away, many tears of joy were shed by players as well as parents. For the Lady Mustangs are this years Champions! After the game was over and the trophy presentation was complete came time for the on camera interview. The Captain of the team Crysta Chan gave a very moving speech about how this was truly a team effort. I don't think this night will be forgotten anytime soon.

Remodeling

As you can see by the picture, I did a little remodeling around the house and built the wine cellar of my dreams. Pretty impressive isn't it? Actually, it was time for Silver Oak's Winter release up in Napa last weekend. The weather was perfect and they were opening there newly built winery. We went with our friend David and had a really good time. They were pouring he new 2004 Napa Cabernet which was very good as well as the 99 Cab, which was even better. Their wine sells for $100 a bottle but on this day it cost $30 per person. For that we got unlimited pours and they had nine restaurants from the Napa Valley that were serving free food. It was perfect. Can't wait for the summer release in August.

In Response

Well it seems my writing abilities have come into question by one who shall remain nameless. I have been busy with Chinese New Year activities as this is my year "Year of the Ox". We have done all the usual rituals and had all the ritualistic meals. Black Hair Moss - need I say more. Also have been busy setting up my aquarium. First I stained the aquarium stand to match the rest of the furniture in the room, it came out really nice. The King got me a really nice filter through her brother and then I added some other things to make it REALLY clean. The fish really seem to be enjoying it. Also I finally broke down and bought me a couple of new TV's for the house. I got a 40" Sony LCD for the dining room and then I got a 58" Plasma, new stand and Blue Ray player for the living room. Truman (King's brother) and I were busy getting that all set up. I really like it. This weekend is the Chinese New Year Parade and Street Fair in Chinatown. Also on Saturday, I will be making my yearly trek to Silver Oak Winery in Napa for their new release. Like I need a reason to go up there. Can't wait for Auna to come out so we can hit the wineries. Aside from that Crysta is finishing up her basketball season. They are 6-0 at this point, while her and Elijah have started the Spring season of Dragon Boat. The weather has been unseasonably warm this year with only a few days of rain. Looks like we are going to get mandatory water rationing later this summer. Of course it will probably rain on the New Year's parade, it always seems too. That's all I've got for now. Later!
