    I wasn’t joking. Go to San Diego or somewhere else.  There’s honestly nothing great about SF or the Bay Area anymore as far as exceptional experiences. Not good not shows not people nothing.

    We're not going to fucking San Diego.  Keep your off-topic suggestions to yourself.

    And just for edification, one reason we're going there is to see our daughter's band, so yes, we have "shows" covered.

    Is there anything else to cover??? Softball supers would be on ESPN. Can’t think of anything else on campus sports wise they would cover

    T&F?  Not sure.  They just had the Texas Relays, but maybe there's nothing else that isn't locked up by national networks.

    Oh certainly, I was under the impression you wanted to use the Bay as a launching point for a road trip (which is a great idea, lots within three hours). Yes, Muir is an easy to just to drive up to some Redwoods. Are you a hiker? There’s a nice little hotel called the Mountain Home Inn nearby that’s a good base for Mt. Tam hiking. Can access parts of Muir without dealing with the tourists. 

    We're not averse to a hike.  It feels like we could save some driving and do more sightseeing if we did Muir Woods on the way to Napa Valley.  Yes?

    More time to drink wine.

  4. Wait, it looks like Muir Woods has some big redwoods.  Is that a reasonable alternative to Redwood or Sequoia?  It's less of a drive.  (I don't MIND the drive necessarily, but it's nice to know any alternatives.)

    Giants in town? 

    Just one game, Dodgers on Sunday 6/30.  Not particularly interesting to this Cardinals fan nor his wife, but I might be able to talk her into it.  Thanks for the idea.

    It makes no sense for it not to be head to head as the initial tiebreaker. If the teams didn’t play then it can go to %

    Of course it makes no sense.  The Big XII is stupid.

  7. When we made that overnight pit stop downtown OKC, the Thunder had a home game and the visiting team was also at our hotel.  I had really very little perception of how tall, skinny and young an NBA team could be.

  8. My wife and I want to visit the Bay Area 6/29 - 7/7.  Neither of us has spent any real time there.  We're looking for recommendations on hotels, B&Bs, restaurants, and places to see.  Some things on our list include:

    -- Alcatraz

    -- San Francisco proper

    -- wine country (need advice on whether Napa or Sonoma might be better)

    -- either Redwood or Sequoia National Park (need advice on which is "better")

    -- other?
