Happy birthday to the wife!

Happy birthday to the wife! Even after all these years I’ve known her, I have the hardest time finding her the right gift. For those who know me well will know how big of an ordeal for me to shop & buy fancy cheeses (I’m not the biggest cheese fan). Though it wasn’t the most…

Oakland Athletics homepage!

What an amazing 24 hours! Not only were my new A’s signs on TV last night, Eric Sogard & his wife complimented my Harry Potter design on Twitter! When I woke up this morning, MLB featured my signs on the front page of OaklandAthletics.com! I’m still in awe. Also, here’s a tip…

Goodbye, Hillsborough Plaza

It was our last official day at our apartment, our home for nearly four years. Started in a tiny studio apartment, graduated to a one bedroom place after we got married, & now finally moving out to a home we own. It was pretty emotional for me as we cleaned out the last of our…

My new signs were on TV again!

Thanks to my cousin Jeanette for capturing this photo from the April 2nd broadcast of the A’s game!

Working hard on a Sunday

Gotta give it up to my good friends & bro who helped us paint our new office & baby room at our new condo! If it would take a few hours for one person to paint a whole room, it would take only minutes for a group to do it. This was true! As a reward, they deserve only the finest…

Disc golf with the work crew

One of many reasons work is awesome: scheduled disc golf afternoons. Also an awesome reason to work up in San Francisco. Perfect day for golfing, too. The weather was pleasant & the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, complete with pink petals swirling in the wind. The wind…

Sagabaen Spring picnic 2013

The Sagabaen family always does it big! Despite many threats of rain, we enjoyed the Saturday afternoon under the warm March sun. I was in charge of activities, so in gathered all accoutrements necessary to play games of kickball, wiffleball, game of catch, the always-popular…

I’m on the front page of the Oakland Athletics website again!

A’s right field bleacher fans

I am in awe of the magic of the right field bleacher fans (or hecklers) at A’s games. This is Torii Hunter of the Tigers. The magical part? This is Torii conversing with the bleacher fans during the game & laughing along with them! For baseball players on the field, you’re…

Vernon Davis

49er fans may recognize this good looking chap. It’s Vernon Davis! We were doing the tourist thing on a Saturday afternoon at Pier 39. After lunch, while we were walking around, we saw this small crowd wearing a lot of red standing at this random corner between two restaurants. We took a gander & right…
