For 16 that is. Driving him in this morning for the morning football session we realized that in one week it will be a school day drop off instead. You know what makes the summer fly by? Taking online classes and playing football that's what! Remember how I complained about checking in to five classes... Continue Reading →
Yes, I am a weather wimpy San Diegan. Proudly so.
Allow me please to whine just a little bit about the weather. OK, let me whine a LOT! First, here is your frame of reference. I live in San Diego. I've lived here full time pretty much since the early 80s. So this graphic describes me PERFECTLY: The last two weeks it has been... Continue Reading →

First there were the widely panned Opening Ceremony outfits which were..well...frankly quite boring and not in the least representative... Continue Reading →

Let the games begin! (I need the distraction)
