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.
You know, it just occurred to me that she may have been referring to his last name, which is clearly epic in the Homeric sense.
