Greetings from San Francisco: Where this afternoon, I will be making my first visit to AT&T Park, to watch the San Francisco Giants host the New York Mets.

And where tomorrow at 9:15 a.m. pacific time, I will be taking a guided tour of the historic James R. Browning U.S. Courthouse — headquarters of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

As always while I am on the road, additional appellate related retweets are likely to appear on this blog’s Twitter feed.
