Idol, sports and a newbie to Carlsbad...

Go figure ... a blog focusing on American Idol (yes, I have done just that for the past five AI seasons), sports (yes, I was in the newspaper world for 42 years with 6 different papers including the old SD Evening Tribune as sports editor) and the world of Carlsbad through the eyes of a new resident (where are all those pelicans headed and how much faster is the Amtrak train going than the Coaster?).

So, in my semi-retirement we are going to have a llittle fun here.  We will give you a lot of info on Idol if you care, we'll try to figure out the wide world of sports from the Lancers (how did they get that nickname?) to the Chargers (yes, I was there when the Niners drilled them in the Super Bowl) and we'll look at C-Bad in a way that only a Baby Boomer from West Virginia can.

And along the way I'll share with you some of the pics I've taken. In another life I would have loved to have been a photographer.

And if you have questions, just ask and I'll try to find an answer for you.
