When Random Jibberish is riding in a time machine way far into the future...

It just occurred to me earlier today that of the five pro sports teams that I follow and root for...

​

... only the Golden State Warriors haven't reached at least one game or series away from its league championship the last two years:

• San Jose Earthquakes - 2010 MLS Eastern Conference Final (lost to the Colorado Rapids)

• San Francisco Giants - 2010 MLB World Series (won against the Texas Rangers)

• San Francisco 49ers - 2011 NFC Championship Game (lost to the New York Giants)

• San Jose Sharks - 2010 NHL Western Conference Finals (lost to the Chicago Blackhawks) and 2011 NHL Western Conference Finals (lost to the Vancouver Canucks)

Dec. 12, 1971: A happy couple awkwardly holds their baby so grandparents in Sweden can see him. I'm guessing this videophone call cost about $45 a minute in 1971. Now excuse me while I give my iPhone a hug. (Chronicle file)



That baby was (and still is) only less than three weeks younger than me.
