San Diego Symphony: This ain’t your granny’s symphony

If you haven’t been to a symphony in recent years, you may be surprised to see how it’s changed.  Unlike the stuffy, high-falutin” settings of yesteryear, the San Diego Symphony is vibrant and exciting, with something special to offer all members of the family. 
To illustrate what this looks like, you can download a video from their site […]

Where will they play?

It’s Girl Scout Cookie Time in San Diego

There’s a chill in the San Diego air, but intermingled with the seabreeze is a bit of excitement and the sweet aroma of Girl scout cookies.  Cookie time has just started this week, and girl scouts are now trekking door-to-door, taking orders throughout San Diego neighborhoods for cookies that will be delivered at the end of February or beginning of March.  […]

Kudos to Scripps Ranch Bloggers

I just came across a blog that’s well worth a visit, especially to those interested in Scripps Ranch.

The Resignation of Carol Lam

I was planning on writing about Federal Prosecutor Carol Lam’s resignation today, so I started reading about her.  Frankly, she’s not all that flamboyant, so I didn’t know much about her. 
I had certainly heard about the prosecution of former Congressman Randy “Duke” Cunningham for bribery and tax evasion last year.    It’s unusual to see a […]

San Diego County Crops Damaged in Freeze

Frozen crops in San Diego? If you don’t live in San Diego county, you may find it hard to believe that we consider this a cold winter. I know - we’re just soft. We’re often blessed with summer days in the middle of what we laughingly refer to as winter, and we whine when we […]
