More on Restaurant Week
Remembering which night/which restaurant brought up the saying, "if it's Wednesday, it must be Fleetwood", our own rendition from the movie, "If it's Tuesday, This Must be Belgium". When we arrived, we were greeted by a lovely hostess with a …
Food
Well, it happened again, a wonderful dining adventure. With the onset of Restaurant Week, a friend went with me to Marble Room on Monday. This was a different experience as it was a 3 course menu, instead of the "serve …
Sports & politics
As I am still reeling from the fact that Trevor Hoffman will be wearing a Milwaukee Brewers' uniform in 2009, the Chargers add to my grief by losing in cold, snowy, Pittsburgh. Now is the time to turn my attention …
TREVOR HOFFMAN
They actually traded Trevor Hoffman. Is that not one of the most idiotic things this team (Padres) could possibly do to alienate more fans?? Trevor, Hells Bells, Hoffman was MR. PADRE. There are no good reasons for this transaction. It …
Dinner
We tried the new restaurant, Marble Room, last night. It is where Moose's used to be. The decor is understated, but lovely. There is a nice bar set up on the left side of the room (as you enter). There …
San Diego Spending
The City I love to live in, America's once beautiful, proud City, just aint what it used to be. It does seem there has always been some sort of corruption going on or at least alleged. In fact, I remember …
SAN DIEGO SUPER CHARGERS
SAN DIEGO SUPER CHARGERS, SAN DIEGO CHARGERS DARREN SPROLES carried the team on his small stature and Mike Scifries kicked the Colts into undesirable field position. LT was on the sideline. Antonio Gates & Chris Chambers were prime targets for …
HAPPY NEW YEAR
HAPPY NEW YEAR one and all. It will take awhile to get used to writing 2009, especially on checks. Since I rarely do that any more (write checks) the learning curve might be different than in previous years. For those …
Downtown living
Downtown housing seems to be a very popular topic. There are articles in the Reader, U-T, Metropolitan, and now right here on my blog. I have been asking our City Council, CCDC, CCAC, and anyone else who would listen, "Why …
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Here's hoping that you all had a wonderful Christmas, even those who spent it with relatives! I am quite fond of the holiday season. My apartment is decorated and I have a real tree. I created my own tradition of …
Leadership
The lame duck, aka Dubya, and his veep, Cheney are leaving office with the lowest approval ratings EVER. Upon leaving office, this "team" leaves us with the largest national debt in American history. What about all the hoopla about the …
America's finest City
I am confused by Mayor Sanders request. He is telling San Diegans not to water their lawns. This comes after several very wet, cold, rainy days. It also reminds me that I saw a landscape company employee using a leaf …

Politics; bits and pieces
So lets talk politics. Just bits and pieces, but the impact on our lives will be great. Somebody once said "politics as usual" in reference to the American citizenry and their proclivity to not participate in elections. Voting is something …

The unstable Christmas tree
I got my Christmas tree last week. I had the tree stand out and all was ready to get it set up. Since I bought a smaller tree, it is sitting on a 2 foot high square table. The tree …
San Diego PADRES
So, the Padres can call their decimation of the team whatever they want. Fact is, it's a fire sale ala Tom Werner (& his gang of thieves). Trading away experienced players and replacing them with AAA, leaves the team without …

Another day, another dollar. Got a Christmas tree. It is smaller this year, but it's s nice one. Hope to get it decorated today. Turkey soup (with rice) should be ready today. Then it's time to get to making cookie …
