    Scholarly Research

    One could accuse my father of being a grump. A lot of names stick to him – if only they stick like pickles to a window. I used to subscribe to the grump hypothesis, but I found it to be easy and overly adhesive. A closer study reveals slant rhyme ...

    The Oprah Brouhaha

    So, there's this Eggo waffle shortage. And it comes the same time Oprah Winfrey has decided to end her talk show. Coincidence?! Okay, that was a cheap joke. And not even a funny one. I wanted to start the blog with lyrics from Stew, one of my favorite singer/songwriters. I ...

    CCDC and another study

    This is not the blog I had intended to write. The late newscast just changed things. NO NO NO How can a City that is struggling, laying people off and looking at budget deficits possibly pay $160,000 for some consultant to study the feasibility of a stadium for the Chargers ...

    So, my daughter, who has suffered through several episodes of Hawaii Five-0, and Star Trek movies recently, cashed in her chips with me and made me watch...ugghhh..Twilite. I had never seen this movie, I had heard of it though. She has this dude's posters all over her room. I think ...

    The Emperor's New Prose

    Just recently there lived an emperor who was so fond of all things “literal,” as he called them, that he neglected most matters of state in order to spend his time at court surrounded by the finest poets, essayists, novelists, stage actors and scholars he could find. The emperor, a ...

    The Biggest Loser. Is it Shawne Merriman, Levi, or Palin?

    Celebrity news can sometimes be interesting. Sometimes it's boring. But there are a few things that involve people saying one thing about a person, that you can clearly call BS on without knowing all the details. It's funny, because I've watched some of those police shows when cops are questioning ...

    Naked Thumb Suckers

    Would you like to be a Naked Thumb Sucker? What is that? The Matrix movies, the first one being the only one I cared for, had an interesting premise. In a nutshell, humans are kept alive in little alcoves, naked. Their minds are wired into a ‘matrix’; a fake world ...

    Concessions Confessions

    With the regular season coming to a close last Friday, I have a confession to make: the best part about covering high school football is the food. While quality matchups whet my appetite week to week, it is the concession stands at high schools throughout San Diego that keep me ...

    Some Economics of Life in San Diego

    I am very surprised that no one is claiming their success in regards to the homeless population that had been camping out on the west side of 9th, between E & F. The winter tent shelters, provided by the City should be open soon. Speaking of camping, I was walking ...

    300 Times

    There were a few interesting stories I couldn’t decide between blogging on. There was that idiotic, 86-year-old owner of the Tennesse Titans. As his team beat the Bills, he decided to flip off the crowd. And it cost him $250,000. I love the fine. Players have been fined $10,000 for ...
