“What happens in San Diego…”

Super Bowl XLIV is this Sunday, February 7th. None of your friends picked up the torch and announced a party at their place. You know you don’t want twenty friends letting loose in your own living room. So why don’t you leave the chili cheese dip in the jar, skip the pigs-in-a-blanket, and treat yourself to a full-service experience?

These fine San Diego establishments invite you to join them, with as many of your closest friends you can coax onto public transit or cram into a designated driver’s chariot.  With kick-off happening just before 3:30 pm, most are beginning the festivities around noon.  Get your rest, you’ll need it for this full-contact day of fun!

What’s all that noise coming from Camp Pendleton!?! If you didn’t get a lot of sleep last night as a result of the incessant booms, ka-booms, and bada bang bada booms, you may be a little crotchety today. Smart remarks easily roll off your tongue like…

• Smoke em if you got em
• Boys and their toys…
• FIRE IN THE HOLE!
• Guys just wanna to blow stuff up…

“Can I get a hand here?”

The storms came last week and brought us some much needed rain. But they also brought us something else…Trash. Rain washes it into the storm drains and into the ocean. Wind blows over trash cans and sends its bounty on a free flight, which always seems to land on our beaches. Last week, we had heavy rains and gale force winds. That’s a lot of trash!

You can help & here’s how… (Hey, you still have those extra holiday calories to burn off, right?)

A gliders view of the Torrey Pines Golf Course

As we usher in a new decade at the world famous Torrey Pines Golf Course, we also usher in a new tournament sponsor. The tournament formerly known as the Buick Invitational is no more. Farmers Insurance has stepped up to the tee box as new title sponsor, giving us the Farmers Insurance Open 2010. With current economic conditions, sponsorships aren’t viable for many businesses, including members of the struggling auto industry.  After twenty years of sponsorship, Buick announced last year that they could not return in 2010 for the 4th stop on the PGA Tour at Torrey Pines.

“It was only within the last few weeks that this ultra-prestigious tournament found a title sponsor…”
