Spent all weekend decorating the house for Christmas.Since I graduated from Berkeley and work at Stanford, I thought the ancient rivalry between the schools would make an interesting theme. One side of the kitchen is bedecked with Cal Bears colors, the other side with Stanford colors. - so - t my annual Christmas Ornament Making Party, I hushed everyone to announce: "Notice the Cal-Stanford rivalry here: on the left, BLUE and GOLD! On the right, RED and GOLD!" Everyone burst out laughing. To my shame. I had it wrong. Stanford colors are red and white. I had to re-christen it the Bears-49'ers color scheme |
