Festival of Lights

No, silly, not THAT one!...Clark, I mean your's is awesome...BUT...the REAL...one...the one that dominates the bay front...San Diego's own....Festival of Lights...

We were a pack of Pinncaleites, 10 of us....gathered down at the Fish Market...on the deck...had a set of wines...some more than others...ate some bread, butter, cheesy bread, and smoked fishes...and watched a mahvelous parade of boats...lit up by Xmas lights...very, very cool...coupled with a gang of gals, we then sang Xmas songs...yes...old and young partied hardy...and yes, people not of SD, it is freezing here, too...got down to 47*...it's all relative...fortunately, the biz had outdoor heaters a blazing...ho ho ho...

Break up the Bolts!...ripped a new one to NY...like the Giants...these Vegas guys know stuff...had the totally unpredictable Chargers winning in a totally unpredictable league...a low blow by one of the Trib's writers....suggesting that every time the Giant's QB Eli Manning hit the field the locals vociferously boo him...and they did...reminder here...when Eli was drafted way back when, he refused to come and play at SD...and has yet to beat the Bolts....ever...and the streak continues...

Bowl bids...in the very curious land of college football...where money drives the schools all around the country....and it engulfs the presidents of the universities as well...those who think that they are better than you or me...and never, ever make poor decisions...they just turn their heads and accept what ever $ is given their school...it's all bad...BUT...it is the law of the land...so, if you have a 6-6 record or better, you probably get an invitation to one of them bowls...really...

So how did your favorite fare?...the BSBCS champ game has what I predicted yesterday...FSU vs Auburn...the Ducks go to San Antonio to face Texas...hmmm....boring...and the Beavs?...go to Hawaii to play coach less Boise St...at least that would be a good trip...and SDSU?...rolls on up to Idaho to play in the Tater Bowl....to play Buffalo?...the Bills got in a bowl?...cool...

Tiger be human...not really sure it was a melt down, or Zach Johnson flat out beat him...anyhoo...it was great TV...and for those of you Tiger haters...you had your day...as Zach rode a hot streak of great wedge shots...one super great...a hole out...and beat the best golfer in the world...I guess he is...in OT...

For those of you who crucified Carrie for her performance, I would have lurved to see Julie Andrews do that part...LIVE!...I'm just saying...
