rapt!
(Tim Lincecum) Here in SF we have Baseball Fever, and are giddy about the prospect of the World Series. People are wearing Giants (mostly) hats/shirts/jerseys/sweatshirts over their business casual in the Financial District. You can look over almost anyone's shoulder on public transportation to check out scores and stats on various MLB/espn apps. And waiting for the bus home yesterday, my fellow commuters and I could tell when the Giants were doing well by the cheers and applause ringing out down the street from neighborhood watering holes.
Bars and restaurants seemed to be packed for viewing of last night's Game One, with passers-by stopping to catch a few minutes through open doors and windows, and I expect it will be the same tonight for Game Two. Go Gigantes!

A sunny October afternoon in Denver is a full-scale advertisement for the laid-back Colorado, bike-riding + high-heel wearing, coffee and bloody mary please, patio-sitting lifestyle. We did briefly see a few snowflakes fall later in the day...on a drive up to the higher elevation of Keystone. Lovely, and very exciting.

Happy PARKing Day!
Yesteday was PARKing Day 2010, where for a day (or a few hours) parking spaces around the city become tiny, temporary parks. We ventured out for a late lunch and found people kicking back at a couple of locations in the Financial District and near Union Square. Rumor has it there's a much greater turnout in the Mission (more general hanging out) and SOMA ( a higher concentration of architecture and design firms). Above is Method's mini-park/cornhole court

"PARK(ing) Day is an annual, worldwide event that inspires city dwellers everywhere to transform metered parking spots into temporary parks for the public good."

Off the Grid has recently debuted, bringing street food to parts of the city "with little to no existing street food options." That's us! We checked it out Friday evening. The area was a little smaller than we'd expected, and at 6:30 there was a crowd and lines at all of the vendors, but nothing too crazy. On the plus side, OTG seemed to attract a pretty mixed crowd: cool kids, families (not that those two groups are mutually exclusive), couples, cyclists, people with hats, people with tattoos, etc.

Its been warm in the mornings this week, no sweater necessary, which makes the walk to work especially nice. Rolling through North Beach in the a.m. inspires cafe envy, and I tell myself I'll start getting up earlier so that I can leisurely sit outside with beverage before work. So far no luck. I trip up on the 'getting up earlier' part. Will keep trying.
wake up, its saturday!
