Good morning everyone

Hump day and everything is looking fine. As I head into the weekend and in fact, to this month, it will be filled with events much to my liking. The main one is the San Francisco Opera which concludes its 2002/2003 season with three operas. They are Rossini's "La Cenerentola", Berlioz' "Damnation of Faust", and Verdi's "Il Trovatore". Then there is the concert version (in costume apparently) across the street as the SF Symphony performs Wagner's "Flying Dutchman". Then there is the Gay Pride parade and celebrations on the last weekend of the month. Sunday the 27th will really be chaotic as 40,000 or so baseball fans come into the city to see the game at Pacific Bell Park between the Giants and the A's. Add that input to the 500,000 or so people downtown for the parade, and it will be one crowded city for sure. I wonder how heightened security measures will factor into all of this.

The fog is back but it did not seem that chilly this morning. I guess if the wind is not present it makes a big difference. It was actually very pleasant walking to the office this morning.

Big meeting and training session today during lunch concerning some new hardware and software for scanning documents which is supposed to be implemented on July 1st. They installed the equipment in January and I missed the all day training then as I was in Thailand. No one has been using it however and now today's session is just one hour long.

After winning five in a row,the Giants have now lost two in a row. They lost game four of their series with the Colorado Rockies and now the first game with the Minnesota Twins. It is their first appearance at PBP and this weekend the Detroit Tigers make their first appearance there in this session of inter-league play.

Guess I better wrap this up for now.

Cheers...
