Finally I am a winner. B is known for her skills at winning prizes at radio stations. We went to a local radio promotion and I spun the wheel and won. I choose tickets to see The Cult at 4th and B. A small venue downtown San Diego.
We first had dinner at the Hungry Hunter. Apetizer, salad/soup, main entree with two sides and dessert for $20.00. Such a deal. We both had prime rib.
The story with 4th and B is that they say it starts at 7pm but that is when the doors open. They hope you buy their drinks because the show starts around 8:00pm. The first band was Black Ryder. They are from Austrilia and play pysch rock. They were good and set the tone for the evening.

They then took an hour to set up the stage. Again hoping you are buying their drinks because it doesn't take that long. I hate that.
The Cult took the stage and rocked. They played all their old songs plus some new ones.

1st Trojan Home Game
Sept 11, 2010
The USC Trojans first home game of the 2010 season was scheduled for 7:30 pm. We decided to meet my sister, C and her husband, R, at USC and drive home after the game instead of staying at the B&B. We got there around 4 pm. We had reservations at the Galen Center for their tailgate party. They had fruit, salad, chicken, ham, hot dogs & dessert. We watched the other games on TV and ate. We spent so much time there we didn't even go on campus. Walked down to the Coliseum and went to our seats.
"FIGHT ON"
Fight On for ol' SC
Our men Fight On to victory.
Our Alma Mater dear,
looks up to you
Fight On and win
For ol' SC
Fight On to victory
Fight On!
USC football is a tradtion unlike any other. The song "Conquest" always brings chills to me. Traveller, the horse, is unlike any other college mascot. Our championships and bowl record is unmatched by any other school. As you can tell I am proud to be a Trojan and feel very blessed to have graduated from there.
The game was very boring. Neither team did well. We were fortunate to come out with a win. Not sure why, but the team was uninspired. Hopefully the team will play better. Maybe it is the NCAA sanctions, but it was only one person from SD that has caused all these problems. We ran across him when he was in high school at track meets and he was fast, but to do what he did...
We got home at 2:00 am. It was along day but we came away with a victory.

Labor Day Weekend
9/4/10
Jen and Brian came down for the weekend. It was all good. We went to Del Mar for horse racing.
Where the turf meets the surf
down at old Del Mar
take a plane
take a train
take a car.
There is a smile on every face
and a winner in each race
where the turf meets the surf
at Del Mar.
(Johnny Burke / Bing Crosby / James V. Monaco)
We got tables at the Stretch Run Grille and ate a late lunch. I was the big winner with a box extra and another longshot. It was a lot of fun and the weather was great. It was overcast for most of the day so we didn't get burned.
Sept 5, 2010
We went to the Padres game. We had seats on the third base side. They were playing the Colorado Rockies. The Padres were in a 9 game losing streak and the Giants and the Rockies were closing in on the first place Padres.
The padres lost 4-2. 10 in a row. Oh well.
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
