September 9

Isaac's at the A's game tonight with his pal Tyler, and Adam, Brady, and I are watching the action from the comfort of our family room. It's just a chill Friday night.

When we first moved to the Bay Area in 2000, Adam and I went to lots of A's games. It was a cheap, entertaining evening or weekend activity and we learned to love Tim Hudson, Eric Chavez, Barry Zito, and the rest of that scrappy green and gold squad.

The team isn't quite as great as it was back then (and actually more often than not it's kind of painful to watch), but it's still a blessing to share an activity that we enjoyed back then with our kiddos.
