Local musicians 'The DyManic Duo' create the musical backdrop to this look back at the South Bay area in the 60's & 70's. Many of these places are no longer standing, some are part of todays historic establishments. Covering 'The Beatles' song "In My Life", the duo have hit a chord with local You Tube and Facebook followers.

Worked like a charm.

It was a crucial moment in a hotly-contested contest as Mary Star High softball looked to seal up an outright Camino Real League championship leading 1-0 with one out in the top of the sixth inning with a…

Curmudgeon Corner – Batteries, Refrigerator Size?

My Thoughts for May 10, 2015

Coming to your home soon—batteries as big as your refrigerator.  What’s up with this?  I can hardly lift my car battery and I have a terrible time remembering where I stored my triple A, double A, or my C batteries.  Now Tesla has made a battery the size of my refrigerator?  I should be able to find it when I need to, but I hope I don’t have to move it. 

Why do I need one of these?  Why do you…

Brand new league, same old results.

It's the kind of command performance the Port Of Los Angeles High softball team has been doing since their existence as they were able to turn back the challenge of Harbor Teacher Prep of…

My Thoughts for May 3^rd, 2015 

In all my wildest dreams, I never thought Bernie would do it; run against Hillary Clinton.  I love Bernie because he stands up for the middle class, the homeless, and a government of the people.  He’s an independent.  I love that about him, too.  But he’s missing the most important thing today in American politics: MONEY. 

He ran for Mayor of Burlington, Vermont several times before he won and became Mayor of Burlington in 1981.  The…

My Thoughts for April 26, 2015

Alright men, pay attention!  Men, Mother’s Day is just around the corner.  Alert the kids; get them on-board.  Get yourself on-board.  What’d mean their grown?  What’d you mean you have no child?  (For guys that are oblivious, May 10^th is Mother’s Day.) !  No, don’t give me that excuse, “She’s not my mother.”   She’s the mother of your children, isn’t she??  Also, if you’re really honest, she’s been “mothering” you since the proverbial…

Curmudgeon Corner -

My Thoughts for April 19, 2015

Everyone knows curmudgeons like me hate change.  I do. I do. I do. The problem is change is like time—it can’t   be stopped.  The reality is one must learn to deal with it.  Deal with It?  But it is so painful.  Do I have to?  Here’s the short answer. Yep!

There is a change taking place in our communities that is subtle, progressive, and immutable.  It is called the Digital Age.  I loathe it and love it in the same…

San Pedro High girls cross-country and track distance runner Danielle Nunez now has one more accolade to cross off her long check list of accolades... her college destination.

On Tuesday, the George Mason-bound phenom reached yet another one in the form of 1,000 career…

There were some great moments that took place for some San Pedro Prep Basketball teams that warranted special postseason accolades, and four players in particular, were bestowed such…

My Thoughts for April 12, 2015   

Call me a curmudgeon if you want, but all this ink that is devoted to who’s running for president and who’s not running is making me really grouchy.  On the Republican side is a field of candidates the size of a football team.  I don’t know about you, but I can’t decide who the team captain is.  Jeb Bush is reported to have the most money, does that make him the captain.  Here are some news headlines about the man: “Jeb Bush Reaffirms He Does Not…

WILMINGTON - It's a brand-new league for Port Of Los Angeles High softball, but it's the same old dominance.

In a battle for sole possession of first place in the Coliseum League, the Polar Bears would defeat host Harbor…

My Thoughts for April 5, 2015  

One thing I’ve noted about my aging as I move toward oblivion is the spring pollens.  Now I know that pollens are necessary for the plants to be able to reproduce, but instead of being carried around by winds, couldn’t we use more insects?  Bees are the most notable transporters of pollens.  Those busy little worker bees, I just love them! They work hard to collect the makings for delicious honey; while at the same time manage to get pollen stuck all…

My Thoughts for March 29, 2015   

What is happening to the world I once knew?  A few weeks ago I went into a restaurant for lunch and discovered a tablet on the table where I was seated.  It was taking the place of a waitperson.  Today I read in the news that Tesla Motors is planning on rolling out a driverless car.  The only thing holding up the planned roll out is the state, in this case California.  Apparently technology is moving so fast that the state’s insurance department can’t…

Earlier this week, the San Pedro High baseball team had to suffer the sight of seeing Harbor Area neighbor Banning of Wilmington getting the best of them in an 4-3, eight-inning Marine League opener.
