Lebron and company were no match for the Clipper’s bench.

Once again, the Youmans boys joined their dad and played a round of golf to benefit the future multi millionaire baseball players of the world.

It came down to the tenth penalty kick in sudden death to determine who moved on to the Elite 8 of League Cup. Unfortunately, Brit’s team lost as is often the case when they don’t win it in regulation. On a positive note, the coach from D-1 UC Riverside called Brit after the game and showed some recruiting interest.

We made a third of what we spent at the “show” in San Diego, but we ate well.

We’re diving into a whole new market. Introducing… We’re seven pieces into the collection. Here is a pic we snapped on a friend’s daughter featuring the variations on the two Basically Me styles from above.

Marquette opens up the season with Ohio State tomorrow on the deck of USS Yorktown in front of a few thousand lucky souls. I will not be among the lucky.

In case you didn’t watch this weeks edition of Hollywood Xpress on the Spanish channel.

In case you were wondering who I voted for.

Sonia continues to stimulate the economy with stupid purchases.

LA lost in the 90th minute to San Jose and now must win a do or die playoff game in San Jose. i took this pic with my iPhone because the lens on my DLSR was somehow shattered when I went to use it.

Leg Muscle Edition

Brittany scored a lazer from 35 feet out to lead her team to a 2-1 win in the final league game of her career with the Sherman Oaks Extreme. There are a few tournaments and cup games between now and May, but the Club is quickly coming to an end.

Our first big flash sale and the biggest market is offline and without power.

The Next Project

The entrance to the back yard was getting a little claustrophobic, so out with the hibiscus and part of the banana tree. Once the landings are removed, we’ll replace all of the dirt/grass with stamped concrete. Results in about a week.

Enjoyed the movie, Moonrise Kingdom and homemade roasted tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Other than the candy solicitations made by miniature pirates and princesses, it was a good night.

Happy Halloween

Hemingway was not pleased.

World Champs

I waited 37 years for the first one, but just two more years for the second. An incredible run for the Giants. It was a treat to be able to see every home game along the way. Thank you Dad, Sonia, Devin and Waldow for sharing the moments along the way.

Unfortunately we had to stay right. Soccer in Bakersfield.

This is my friend, Jason Waldow’s costume. Get it? he’s Jason and Where’s Waldo. Brilliant.

Celebrated the Giants win with dinner at Son of a Gun.

A new Eggs Benedict discovery.

Now & Then

Twelve years ago. Today

Game One

Three home runs from The Panda, Zito and Lince pitched lights out and Scutaro continues to play like he’s All World. Today was a good day.

On top of the Mark. Getting ready for game one of the World Series.

#16 In Progress

A shame he died this year.

#65 Finished

A record 6-0 in elimination games. Hell of a series.

A rainbow in San Fran. I couldn’t think of a better sign.

Hoping for the rain to pass by game time for an epic game 7.

Scenes from Game 6

Best food in baseball Waldow.

Brit’s Final Homecoming

Argo

Very good. And if you don’t think so, allow me to quote dialog from the movie… “Argo fuck yourself.”

Scenes from the Fashion Show

We enjoyed another Basically Me milestone last night when our line was featured in Fashion Minga, a LA Fashion Week Fashion Show. After a couple glasses of champagne, Sonia managed to get through the press line and present what I humbly believe was the best line of the night. Here are a few more pics and video clips taken with my iPhone. Hopefully we’ll…

Now, if she only had somewhere to go.

I’m not jinxed. Giants win 7-1.

Waiting for a BP home run in the bay.

Calm before the storm. 3 plus hours early.

Can I get a Win?

3 games, 3 loses.

Final fitting before the big show next Thursday.

Celebrated the Giants win by taking Sonia to see two of my current favorite bands, Imagine Dragons and Awolnation. Great show, but I did feel a bit old.

Didn’t See That Coming

Giants win three road games in a row to oust the Reds. If I ever get another dog I will name him Buster Posey.

#20 in Progress

Or not. A chain of stores wants to carry Basically Me, however they want a deal. A deal that we will most likely reject. It looks like Basically Me will be better off dealing with the little fish in the sea rather than the whales for the foreseeable future.

Last shows of the year. Atlanta starts tomorrow, Dallas in a couple of weeks. After that, we need to get creative and make sure we can cover the overhead until the new year.

I hope this video is a hit, because the Giants couldn’t buy one.

#81 Done.

The other San Francisco Giants. Spent the morning walking through the Muir Redwoods a few miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. “The redwoods, once seen, leave a mark or create a vision that stays with you always. No one has ever successfully painted or photographed a redwood tree. The feeling they produce is not transferable. From them comes silence and awe. It’s not…

Game One

Didn’t go as planned, but the Reds used a lot of pitchers to win this one.

3 hours before game time. A little late,but we’ll make do.

From Our Hotel Room

It’s Fleet Week in San Francisco. The Blue Angels continue to roar past our windows and over AT&T park. Can’t wait to see them fly over the stadium tonight. Go Giants!

Happy Birthday, Anna!

Happy 8th Birthday to my oldest niece!

#74 Failed

Today is the last day of the MLB season which means I failed to make it to Wrigley and see one of the Cubs 100 loses.

The new floor and chandelier have been installed finally making the kitchen complete.

The Lumineers is Brit’s discovery and now one of my favorite bands. Tonight we enjoyed their LA concert (their first sell out) at the Fonda Theater in Hollywood. I saw Pearl Jam at Marquette before they were “Pearl Jam”. This may have been Brit’s Pearl Jam.
