Tonight is a sad night for us San Francisco Giants fans.  Tonight ends another era for the Giants franchise.  Barry Bonds #25 is playing his last game at AT&T Park in San Francisco.  I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about Barry over this last couple of years.  For a die hard Giants fan I find myself being emotional over Barry leaving the Giants.

I have watched the ups and downs that Barry has had as a Giants player.  I hope others do not dispute the fact that he is the Home Run King with 762 career home runs.  I will never give up on my Giants but I know I will have a hard time adjusting without him next year.  As I did with Shaq O’Neil of the LA Lakers.  I will keep an eye on Barry where ever he decides to go.  I consider AT&T Park the house that Bonds built.  I only hope maybe after a couple/few years when he decides to retire the Giants will bring him back to let him retire as a  San Francisco Giants where he deserves to be.

Good luck #25, Barry Bonds you will be missed and remember your Giants fans love you.

Hola, Como esta usted?  Which means ‘Hello, How are you?’ 

Came across a website called Mango Language it’s a site you can learn a new language for free.  They offer a variety of languages such as Spanish, Russian, French, German, Japanese and many others.  I took a look at the Spanish for two lessons and it teaches through repetitiveness.  I found that you can highlight a word and it will repeat what it sounds like so you can practice a word as well as click on the speaker to hear the whole sentence again.  Here is a screen shot of a lesson from Mango.

If you interested in trying out a new language the price is right (zero dollars).  If you found this site useful please post a comment so other readers know what you think.

 Thanks

 We sit and we type and we stare at our screens,

We can’t help but wonder what all of this means.

With mouse in hand …we roam through this maze,

On an infinite search…lost in a daze.

We chat with each other, we type all our woes

At times we’ll band together to gang up on our foes.

We wait for somebody, to type out our name

We want recognition, but it is always the same.

Soon friendships are formed – but – why we don’t know,

But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.

We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes we’ll flirt,

In IMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.

Why is it on screen, we are so easily bold,

Telling our secrets, that have never been told.

The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell,

We all have our problems

We can’t tell real people, but tell someone we must

So we turn to our computers …and to those we can trust.

Even though it sounds crazy…the truth still remains,

Most of my “friends” have no faces…and odd little names.
