Welcome to My Hot Air
Howdy, folks. This is my first shot at a blog, so please bear with me (plus it's almost midnight). We'll just go with a few notes on the name for the address for this blog and the name.
To start, since it appears in both places, why do I nickname The Giants The Shrimps. Simple - just a spot of wordplay, plus just to goof around with their name.
Why ShrimpBoat.mlblogs.com? Carry the Shrimp nickname forward, combine one of my favorite movies, Forrest Gump (or heck, just steal from it) and we get a Shrimp Boat to carry us on our quest for nice jewelry.
What is a Born Again Giants Fan? One who would consider The Giants in 1989 as something to avoid. (Giants are playing, better not drive by Candlestick on my way home.) I was a fan when I was a kid, but I got restarted in 1996 (what a season to do that... :) ).
Finally, My Hot Air comes from my being a politician here in San Francisco at times. Lousy because almost all of you don't know my name (despite it being on the November 1994 ballot)... :)
On a different note, my daughter had her first full day of classes at SHCP. I can't quite convince her to do basketball there, although getting into the #1 squad in the nation could be huge (but not impossible) challenge. Since I'm taller than anyone on the team, I could call them The Shrimps, too... :)
