Dude, that's epic

Owen was told by another kid in day camp that he had an "epic name." Being out of it, I had no idea what that meant (though thought it sounded like a positive evaluation). Thanks to google I have now learned that "epic" is surfing slang for cool, awesome, "all-time," etc. You learn something new every day.

The kids and I watched Barry hit HR #757 on his first at-bat last night. It was a huge hit, a splashdown that ended up in the Bay (apparently the 45th splash hit at AT&T Park, 35 of which have been hit by Bonds). A guy in a kayak with a sweatshirt reading "BONDS ARMY" fished it out. Then he was escorted away by security, presumably for his own safety.
