The San Francisco Giants Won The World Series!!!

What a historical night it was last night! Elena got a recommendation from a patient for an Italian Restaurant named Buon Gusto. We watched the World Series game until inning 6. We then got in the car and drove to South San Francisco. We found parking. We went to the restaurant. As we walked through the door we knew that it was going to be a warm and a special place. We were promptly seated without a reservation. We had a wonderful Italian dinner while listening to Frank Sinatra songs and watching San Francisco battle Detroit. We finished our meal and had a dessert. The game was still going on. The owner of the restaurant, Julian, came to our table and invited us to stay. He was such a nice and gracious man. He even offered us free drinks. We were surprised to see none other than Grace Lee from CBS Channel 5 walk in with her date and go to the bar. As the game continued I broke out in a sweat despite the cool weather. What I saw was some brilliant coaching and game strategy. One SF Giants player was on first base. A second player bunted knowing that he would be put out at first. However the first SF Giants player made it to second base. A subsequent base hit drove a run in and we had won the World Series. I could not believe it for the first few minutes. Elena and I thanked Julian for his wonderful hospitality. We drove home in the cold weather happy and relieved. Luah had also heard the good news and she was excited. Poor Copernicus was frightened because of all of the fire crackers going off. I never can get enough of that Tony Bennett song: "I Left My Heart In San Francisco."
