Da Bears...Da Cal Bears

My Cal Bears won a bowl game yesterday. It was way too much of a squeaker, but I'll take it. The Bears have won 5 bowl games (and lost one) since 2003, making me a happy man. But the big one's still elusive...I want to see my Bears play in the Rose Bowl.

Frustration, Thy Name is Travel

I just found out that my Cal Bears are playing in a bowl game, in San Francisco, on December 27th. And I don't fly back from New York until the 28th. Damnit. I've never been able to go to a bowl game to see Cal play. I almost made it to the Insight Bowl in 2003, but travel got in the way. I was planning on going to the Holiday Bowl in 2006, but things didn't pan out. Now, with my Bears playing a bowl game less than 2 miles from my house, I'll be 3000 miles away. I'm tempted to come home a couple of days early. But no, that'd cost me money, and I need the time off. I guess I'll wish the Bears well and watch it on TV.
