San Diego has been in the public eye big time this past week thanks to the arrival of the prestigious US Open golf tournament at our beloved Torrey Pines. Weeks and weeks of preparation went into get the golf course looking camera ready, not to mention getting La Jolla prepped for the traffic, and I […]

Did you just wake up and realize it’s mid-June and Father’s Day is right around the corner? (Me too…) But not to worry, skip the lame ties and “#1 Dad” shirts this year and give your dad the gift of experience. As kids grow up, gifts do too.
Check out this Father’s Day roundup for the […]

You may or may not know that baseball season is upon us. I’m not much of a fan myself, partially a result of having lived within walking distance of Wrigley Field in Chicago for a few years (crowds, drunks, lack of parking). Now, I take a writing class in downtown San Diego, so I am pretty […]
Kissing the Blarney Stone imparts the gift of great eloquence, as Irish legend goes. And I hope drinking a pint of Guinness at the Blarney Stone does the same, for the sake of this review.
Tucked away in a corner of suburbia, the Blarney Stone is a tiny bar with a big mouth. The […]
We’ve had more than one question to this post about the Charger Girls tryouts, so it’s worth noting here that there’s now a page on Chargers.com answering that very question. Check it out at chargers.com/charger_girls/audition/ — there you can download the PDF of the 2007 Auditions Application.
I used to watch the Chargers’ games with my Granddad. He was convinced the Chargers could only win with him cheering them on. He wasn’t always right. Granddad passed away in 2004 (at the age of 94), and though early in the game I was sure he was watching from above, by the end, I […]
Kinda cool:
ESPN.com - MLB/HOF07 - Gwynn, Ripken elected to Hall of Fame; McGwire vetoed
Gwynn, who compiled 3,141 hits and a .338 batting average during his 20-year career with the San Diego Padres, said he was fidgety and nervous before he received the call from Jack O’Connell, the BBWAA secretary-treasurer.
“I broke down right away,” he said. […]

From http://www.raceacrossamerica.org/Default.aspx?tabid=184 :
Created in 1982, the Race Across America (RAAM) is now the longest running ultra-distance bicycle endurance competition in the world. This is not a stage race like the Tour de France, where each day a set distance is covered. In RAAM the gun fires somewhere on the West Coast (Oceanside, CA in 2006) […]

As some of you know, I live in Simi Valley, not even in San Diego County anymore. Yes, that makes me a carpetbagger. Anyway, it makes it all the more strange to be at the grocery store and be presented with San Diego Padres branded peanuts. For a minute I wasn’t sure where I was. […]
Here’s a link to an entry in my blog about a recent Ride Across California that my daughter’s 5th grade class performed. There are a lot of Google Earth maps detailing the ride from Yuma to San Diego.
My last ten posts at www.declan.net are also about the ride.
Fox News was at the beach when […]
Chargers.com - Charger Girls hold auditions
Saturday began with the Charger Girls looking to fill 28 spots on the team. There are 21 members of the 2005 squad auditioning in hopes of returning to the team. Returning members automatically advance to the second round of auditions but must earn their way back on the […]
Sure, there’s 161 games to go, but with an opening performance like this, it might end up being the Padres first time going to the post-season in consecutive years.

“I can honestly say that with the team we have put together,” Peavy said in the afterglow, having gone seven strong innings, “if […]
Huh.
San Diego Arena Evacuated Before NCAA - Yahoo! News
The arena for the first-round NCAA men’s tournament game between Alabama and Marquette was temporarily evacuated Thursday after bomb-sniffing dogs found a suspicious package about two hours before tipoff.
The dogs detected the package inside a 4-by-6-inch condiment container in a vendor cart outside Cox Arena at San […]
San Diego State Aztecs (24-8) vs. the Indiana Hoosiers (18-11) tonight on TV Ch.8 at 6:50 PM (approx.) or 1090-AM or 105.7-FM or watch it free online. Another NCAA Tournament game of interest is Gonzaga vs. Xavier at 4:20 p.m. If the Aztecs win, they would play Gonzaga in the next round.
Drew Brees has found the love elsewhere that he always wanted from the Chargers. The former Pro Bowl quarterback today agreed to a six-year, $60 million contract with the New Orleans Saints, ending his up-and-down-and-up five-year turn in San Diego.
More.
The Projected Bracket for the 2006 Men’s Basketball Tournament has SDSU going up against Wisconsin. Unfortunately for State, if they win that game they would have to go head-to-head with Gonzaga.
The first & second rounds of the Division I Men’s Championship (sans SDSU) will be taking place later this month at Cox Arena. They are […]
David Moye sent us these two:
I wrote two stories for Vyuz.com this week that concern events taking place on Feb. 16 and Feb. 18 For some reason, sandiegoblog.com won’t let me suggest them to that website. [we’re getting a lot of spam lately,but I went too far with the defenses - Joe]

Last year oso wrote about this bid. And we’re getting a lot of searches for that article today, so someone must be talking about it. A little googling pulls up the official site for the bid: http://www.tjsd.org/ — Wikpedia (take with grain of salt) has this to say:
A report of January 24, 2005 suggests that […]
Originally posted at altjira’a blog.
Ever since confronting the Union Tribune’s foreboding headline today, I’d like to point out that whether the San Diego Chargers are going to leave our town is an issue that ought to get the juices flowing in all concerned locals, and that SD bloggers really ought to be posting their thoughts […]
Steve Cherry sent us these cool pix of the newly upgraded Escondido Skate Park:
Don’t know if you’re interested in posting this event, but I managed to grab a few shots of some local pros at the newly renovated Escondido Skatepark. It’s a pretty nice facility, and some shots are attached. You’re welcome to […]
