Introduction

This is my 6th story. Sometimes I have to think really hard to come up with an appropriate title for a particular adventure. Sometimes it's really easy. This time was easy. Prior to the game I knew I wanted use the title "All the Way..." Of course, this title is in honor of Celine Dion's ( www.celineonline.com/) new album "All the Way...A Decade of Song." In fact, this album just reached Billboard magazine's #1 position ( www.billboard.com/charts/bb200.asp )! I sincerely wish good luck to the Lady Cardinals that they will go ALL THE WAY and win another NCAA Women Volleyball Championship!

Around the San Francisco Bay Area, lately it's been hard to be a professional sports fan, especially with the recent crumbling of the San Francisco 49ers football team--a poor excuse for a team. I just don't have the stomach to root for teams like the Warriors basketball team nor the Raiders. Fortunately, I have recently started to follow the San Jose Sharks hockey team.
