Bella Gets Her Politics On
Watch Bella place her vote (sort of) at Dog Beach OB! (Click on the image to download the video.)
[15 meg file. Save to disk, unzip, then play AVI file.]
Happy Birthday Baby!
We spent the day hanging around Ocean Beach and Balboa Park for Christel's birthday. We spent the night in OB. It was pretty cool being right next to the beach and Bella loved running around in the sand.

Chargers Blackout
| No Chargers on TV this Sunday. What are your options? Either head down to Caliente sports book in Tijuana or a sports bar in Imperial Valley. Or listen to game coverage on KFMB radio (AM 760) starting at 10am. |
|
Of course you could shell out $34-$72 and head over to Qualcomm Stadium. But its too late to affect the blackout. Games need to sell out 72 hours before kickoff to be shown on local TV. Not that you'd care if you were sitting in the stadium.

Signal Path
The more I'm listening to Signal Path's songs the more I'm regretting that I didn't get off my ass to get to their show in OB.

Wicked Selecta
For the events I didn't list check out the Reader's DJ-related calendar.
Signal Path @ Winston's Beach Club
I've never heard of Signal Path or Winston's 'til today but the band sounds pretty good. They've got a jazzy electronica thing going on with some soulful guitar work. Extra props for the MP3 downloads available on the band's website.

Tuesday Morning Quarterback
| Drew Brees gets some well-deserved props from the Tuesday Morning Quarterback. There's even some nice little jabs at Manning and Rivers. |

Best Performance By a Quarterback Who Actually Wants to Be in San DiegoWhile Eli Manning was fumbling late in a Jersey/A loss and high-priced holdout Philip Rivers was comfortably seated on the Bolts' bench, Drew Brees played an almost-perfect game for San Diego. His look-left, throw-right touchdown to Eric Parker, the game-winner, had the silhouette of Steve Young in his prime.
