Downton Abbey
Oh, "bah humbug." This was a delightful confection, sweet and sour and everything inbetween. Best of all, it seemed to end with a promise that there are many chapters still to be written in this story. (and sequels!) How, I don't know, with 1929 looming and the stock market crash, but that's for the writers to figure out and I'm sure they will! The audience we saw it with loved it, laughed, applauded and so I'd say the author of this review is in the minority.— September 21, 2019 10:15 p.m.
Trump supporters expose themselves in San Diego County
I sincerely hope this is satire. If not, get help. Now. Don't waste one more minute. Oh, please. Let this be satire.— August 11, 2019 9:38 a.m.
First Man
I look for your comments every week on Rotten Tomatoes. I have never seen a positive review from you - EVER. Do you always look for the most negative thing you can find? You must be a curmudgeon. Bah humbug!— October 13, 2018 8:20 a.m.
A Simple Favor
Do you EVER like a movie?! It seems every time I read one of your reviews, you diss the movie. I saw this movie today and thoroughly enjoyed it. So many twists and turns! I go to the movies to be entertained and don’t need deeper messages although I like those too.— September 14, 2018 7:14 p.m.
Neighbors take sides in Normal Heights dog dispute
Ha! I completely agree with you! We have a dog; we love our dog like he's our baby. He's completely spoiled rotten, sometimes I think he forgets he's a dog. However, we draw the line at subjecting our dog to other people's comfort and safety. We don't take him into stores, unless it's a pet store. Even then, we make sure we've walked him because he is always quite interested in leaving "p mail" for other dogs, and we don't relish being embarrassed. We also never take him to street fairs. #1. He hates crowds and pulls on his leash in an effort to get away. We learned this right after getting him at Helen Woodward, and never, ever take him where there will be a large gathering. Also, #2, his paws. On a hot day (like the NP Festival of the Arts) I don't think it's good for their paws to be on the hot blacktop. Just IMO, of course, but if all dog owners would just remember that loved "baby" of the family is in fact a CANINE, life would be so much easier!— May 25, 2017 9:21 a.m.
City bucks for “twinkle lights”
Do you mean these beautiful sidewalks? This is University Ave., between 29th and 30th St. Exactly where the "twinkle lights" will go.— March 21, 2016 9:06 a.m.

AirBnB, the elephant in the room
Thank you for a great comment! We have just endured 2 weekends of huge parties in the airbnb/vrbo rental next door to us. Last week, there was a party on Sunday that exceeded 35 people. Not sleeping there, just spilling all over the street, cars parked everywhere....and lots and lots of noise. To their credit, they were quiet at night. This past weekend, people came and went all weekend. Day after day, taxis pulled up and brought some people, carted others away. Friday must have been a wedding of some sort; guests were picked up in a large (aka tourist-type) bus. Again, for all the noise during the day, they were quiet at night. I imagine the owner of the property (ALWAYS ABSENTEE) has laid down the law about the patio and noise since we have made it clear we will have zero tolerance for this. You are correct. Mass profits for the owners at the expense of the people who live here daily, pay taxes and work hard to live in these very small houses, in the most desirable neighborhoods of San Diego. And, if we ever want to sell our house, as long as this operates as a "hotel", which it is! - we have to declare it as a nuisance to any potential buyers. Just think what that does for property values. I'm glad the city ruled this way. We will be watching carefully to see what happens next both in our neighborhood (not Burlingame) and other single family residential neighborhoods throughout San Diego that are plagued by this "sharing" community.— August 10, 2015 8:28 p.m.
Open-door Airbnb in Burlingame
Love your comment! The house next door to us was a rental for the first 9 years we lived here. Then the owner found out how much money he could make renting as a "vacation rental". Does he live there? No. He took a whole house rental off the rental market, and a studio apartment (probably not even permitted) off the market, and rents them out at $300 per night and $125 per night. There goes 2 possible solutions to the housing shortage in San Diego.— May 7, 2015 10 p.m.
Open-door Airbnb in Burlingame
So true. Mission Beach is done. Next will be Pacific Beach. The writing's on the wall. Who will fall next? South Park? North Park? Bay Park?— May 7, 2015 9:56 p.m.
