I was impressed with both teams but while I was watching Stanford looked in control.

I didn’t watch the entire game and later learned that UCLA pulled out a close victory. UCLA always finds a way to win, either by luck or by toughness. Should I pick them to go far this year? My main concerns for this team are the close calls, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute in a cast, Kevin Love’s back spasms, and the frightening look of Lorenzo Mata-Real.

A cool, overcast day in FAT means warm Vietnamese pho for you.

A side story belongs here. While eating pho at May Cafe, this couple sat in a booth next to us. See them in the background? The older guy and the Asian female?

They gave me an icky feeling. When sitting down, the guy told the female what side of the booth to sit on. She looks much younger than the guy and was well made up. She might have had some work done, not sure. During lunch, the guy reached over the table to fix her hair. They seemed normal and happy enough, but still gave me a weirded out vibe.

And before I forget, if you need a pediatric cardiac surgeon, go see Doctor Malcolm MacDonald at Children’s Hospital Central California. He’s great and is always working. We’ve seen him everyday, several times a day so far. His dedication is unreal.
