the Fight For Local News

SLo comment on local happenings!
Just when you thought it was safe to go into the water, another blogger steps up to take on the world… isn’t the internet grand!

Local News folks who have had the world to themselves now have to face their latest competition… and it’s free! Here comes SLOcomment.com !

Most locals have already begin to watch as sloUncovered would break the hard stories that few others — if any — would touch!

Just as economic competition has finally come to our county… so has news coverage.

It’s a brave new world.

Are you wondering how the  Cal Poly bin Saudi Deal  is going down? Well the ’empire is striking back’ by bringing Islamic Speakers to inform and reeducate us. Thanks, SloComment.com.

Make Mother’s Day Special for her

do smoethnig extra special this year!
Okay, guys, Mother’s Day is coming up… what’s your game plan? Yeah, it’s coming up in less than a week, May 11th, Sunday.

Why is it that I always equate food with love? Laura says it is because I am a ‘super taster.’



I always feel that a great meal is a sign of respect and love…. whether you take her to a special place or you prepare the meal yourself. Even if you are not a great cook there are plenty of sites that will show you a step by step approach to making something wonderful.

Check out Cooking for Engineers!

Personally, few if any restaurants can prepare the food you can make yourself. It would be too expensive, restaurants couldn’t charge enough to cover their costs of material, labor and overhead. Whether or not you make it, bake it, saute it, grill it, chill it or fry it, it’s bound to be better!

PS. Yes, the food above was spectacular! Our Chicken Tetrazzini, Blueberry New York Style Cheesecake, a wonderful shrimp and crab salad and some inexpensive and sweet Italian Champagne called “Dulce Vita” Prosecco.

SC Trojans 86 – UCLA Bruins 77 in the one that counts!

fun at Usc
After 15 long years, the University of Southern California Trojan Women’s Track & Field Team beat the UCLA Bruins on their home track (Drake Stadium). Carol Rodriguez ran superbly throughout the day even setting a record in the women’s 400m… a real tough act given the talent in that event at USC in history!

There were many heroes contributing to the Trojan victory. Hey, where did those great distance runners come from?? Wow!

Young freshman Lauren Guerrieri was second in the discus and third in the hammer totaling 4 points. It was many unsung performances like Lauren’s that helped carry the day fro the Trojans! I know Karen was very proud of the women throwers!

Congratulations Coach Allice and your staff!

Fight On!

what have you done for your marriage today?

What have you done for your marriage today?

Hear what others have said.

As for me, I try to do those things that need to be done, but no one has time to do. Karen handles the web site, but she’s in the middle of planning her  presentation in China  and final examinations… so I  updated Laura’s picture with a current version.  I guess she didn’t like looking like a middle schooler? It was one of those pixel by pixel challenges.

The idea is to try to think about something meaningful, something helpful or something fun for the two of you. and remember, to succeed in any relationships, you must have 5 positive interactions for ever 1 criticism… how are you doing?
