And playing second base...Vijay Singh

Parks are very big in my town.  All the schools are linked to public parks.  On the weekends you will see  Chinese exercise classes on the hardtops, girls softball and Little League baseball games on the diamonds and soccer on the grass in between. 

There is a new game in town. Alongside the soccer, in between baseball and softball there's a cricket pitch.  Silicon Valley is renowned for innovation.  Our creativity and openness to ideas from around the world  spills over from technology to food (fusion cuisine, anyone?).  It's not surprising that sports would be influenced, too.  Silicon Valley culture is a fusion of the diaspora of our people.

In the not too distant future I can see major league scouts prowling the sidelines of the pitches evaluating talent.  I can hear the announcer at AT&T "playing second base and batting third...Vijay SINGH!" and the crowd roaring appreciation for the local kid from Cupertino who's made it to The Show. 

Breakfast in Silicon Valley

I walk the dogs early in the morning here in SV - around 6 AM.  As we go through our neighborhood I smell breakfast being cooked. It always smells wonderful.

In one part of the neighborhood I smell bacon and french toast wafting through the open kitchen window.  Along another street I can smell rice.  And then around the corner it's curry.  I love curry. 

Coffee and tea can faintly scent the air as we walk by.  Through windows I sometimes glimpse a television or hear music.  I like music best.  It can be spanish, indian or perhaps the chinese rock station is playing. 

The world is getting ready to work in Silicon Valley.
