Grossmont Union High School District officials caught multiple San Diego students with medical marijuana cards on campus.
For decades, students have created excuses to get out of trouble, avoid blame, and explain school absence. From fake doctor notes to forged parent notes, students have used them all. But until now, proof of a […]

I’m almost over it, the feeling maudlin thing, I swear….
But I just noticed and thought I would pass it along, the Musuem of Man’s Dia de los Muertos community altar will be on display through tomorrow, November 5
and if you go, while you’re there, check out the exhibit Body Ornamentation: Artistic Representations of Self. No rush though, that […]
This Saturday I will be giving a demonstration on how to roast coffee using a popcorn popper at Caffe Calabria for the San Diego Home Coffee Roasters. This is open to the public and is a free event. It starts at 10 AM and will run 1 hour. It will be held […]
Should we do another one before the holiday season sneaks up again?
Maybe a Pot Luck Picnic / BBQ now that the tourists are gone?
or should we wait until January and do a 2nd Annual San Diego Blogger Party?
any other suggestions? ideas? comments?
Wikipedia has a page for June Gloom, which accurately describes this week. I got so sick of the gray skies today, I got in my car and drove east. By the time I got to Alpine the sun was out. Ended up hiking in the Laguna Mountains.
Old man river, that old man river,
He don’t say nothin’, but he must know somethin’
That old man river, he just keeps rolling along.

Now I work in Carlsbad, right near the factory for the newish and oh so hip and trendy (and […]
If you were a 5th grade girl in the San Diego Unified School district, policy would dictate that you would see a sex education video in your elementary school classroom. All the boys would have to leave before your female teacher showed the video. The “plot” would have a 13-year old girl asking her Mom […]
Remember those high school walkouts a few weeks back? (Who could forget?) And remember how school administrators were banning students from bringing flags of any sort onto school grounds? (Again, who could forget?) Well, some students are still wearing flags and some schools are still disciplining students, even to the point […]

I must be frightfully out of the loop, considering that my wife is a teacher. I wasn’t even aware that some schools serve breakfast to students before school let alone give students who are running late, sometimes as many as two hundred, a second opportunity to eat breakfast later.
