Is It Masochism?

These are my Bears playing at the new Gaylen Center at USC. It was a beautiful night. The new arena is amazing - true to USC form, cost was no object & no expense was spared. Our seats were great - thank you Ryan! The company was awesome. The only problem? My Bears never win!


Well - let me clarify - they're actually 5th in the Pac 10. And well above Stanford, which is all that really matters. But after sitting through 4 losing seasons of Cal football (for those of you who keep track - I was there during the Holmoe years. Enough said.). After dragging groups of friends to recent Cal games & that we inevitably always lose. And after having expectations that we'd have a decent basketball season... I begin to wonder.... is it me? Do I jinx them? Or is it just plain masochism at this point? I'm beginning to know how Cubs fans feel.


So - despite the loss, it was actually a great game. And with no shame (or perhaps no pride), there we all sat in the sea of red - sporting our faithful blue & gold. I walked out with my head high. And will continue to say - Go Bears!

Jack's 1st Birthday

This past weekend was awesome. I mean - who can beat 80 degrees in January? I enjoyed the weekend in the company of great friends. First off - Jack's 1st Birthday! I know I'm a little biased, but I seriously think he's the cutest ever! Check out these pics of Jack after he's devoured his Elmo cupcake... there was red frosting from ear to ear! And just FYI - Heather is amazing. She made the Elmo cake & Elmo cupcakes herself. You can kindof see them in the bottom of the picture. So fun!
