Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Yes, I am going to attempt a post a day in October. It's a good month for it. Football games, the last race of the season, a week off later in the month and hopefully the actual arrival of Fall weather (any day now please - today is another scorcher!) I need the distraction this... Continue Reading →
Week 4 Pig Pen Inductee: Jacob Alsadek of Torrey Pines H.S.. Click on the link above to watch the video! OK, that's a bit of a teaser headline 🙂 (note: this post is in lieu of a game report form Friday night since the team lost 2-0 and 16 didn't even step on the field)... Continue Reading →
It’s hot. It’s been hot for two solid months. It’s technically now Fall. It’s still hot. 81 degrees in my house on 9/23 at 3pm with NO BREEZE coming in ANY open window. That’s just too damn hot. Due to the hot, I am immensely lazy. I don’t want to run. I don’t want... Continue Reading →
Turning this into the All Sports blog...(for now)....on Saturday morning after our Friday Night Lights fun, I ran a 5k trail race. It was a wee bit warm. And it was out east where it is...well..warmer! San Diego cannot seem to shake off this hotter than normal summer. August and September have been varying stages... Continue Reading →

16 recently flipped through some of the football and baseball game posts I've written over the years that he's played. When he got home from the Friday night high school football game (one in which he didn't even suit up to play), he said to me "You know how you wrote about the best baseball... Continue Reading →
So unless you were hiding under a rock, you were at least marginally aware that we've just wrapped up two weeks' worth of political party conventions. The every four years parties to tell us why we should support your party. Perhaps equally obvious to you if you know me at all is that this week's... Continue Reading →
Yes, I know, I live here so the headline could seem as if it is hinting that I traveled somewhere new. Which I did. Sort of. Friday night started it off out in east county for the first varsity football game of the season (horrible...penalties, turnovers...lost 22-7...16 still on the sideline though he should be...

Another summer - done! Another school year begins. Here's the status I just dropped on Facebook: First day of 11th grade! No, I didn't take any pictures (I am lame and he wouldn't have allowed it anyway). No, I didn't honk and encourage cars to run over the students streaming across the intersection when the...

Listening to a morning radio show on the way to work I heard a completely new term. “Push Present” Now, I know I fall out of the range of your typical female target audience. The things that I watch on TV or the magazines & blogs I read are WAY out of the norm for... Continue Reading →
