One man almost lost his leg in this violent shark encounter. Fortunately it looks like Kurtis Foster may recover after a prolonged rehab.

Wednesday night my good friend, and die-hard San Jose Sharks fan, Rudi Lang and I went to see the Sharks play against the Minnesota Wild. It was a great game that went into overtime and was decided by a shoot out which was won by the Sharks.

HP Pavilion was sold out and the crowd was ecstatic to see their favorite team win again. Unfortunately Minnesota defenseman Kurtis Foster broke his left leg in the second period. Foster, a third-year pro, hit the boards violently after a collision with San Jose rookie Torrey Mitchell.

The San Jose Sharks are now in second place behind the Detroit Red Wings. With another 10 games to play, there are a couple of exciting weeks ahead of us. 

On the way back to Danville we drove passed the Sunset Business Park offices on Crow Canyon Road in San Ramon; close to midnight people were still hard at work to get the facility ready for PG&E’s upcoming move.

The relocation of hundreds of PG&E employees will be good for the local community and exciting for the people that are moving here. Rudi and I were talking about how lucky we are living in the East Bay with great schools, safe communities and close to San Francisco.

As big sports fans we both agreed that we are also very fortunate in the Bay Area with two great Major League baseball teams: the Oakland A’s and the San Francisco Giants (don’t forget about our Niner Training Camp), and two NFL teams: the Oakland Raiders and the San Francisco 49ers. In Oakland we have the Golden State Warriors who are on fire this year in the NBA and the San Jose Sharks are having their best year ever.

What else can we ask for?
