Perfect Time of Year

Last Monday, I sat in my apartment, beer in hand, waiting for the U.S. team to make their appearance in the 2014 World Cup.  They are ranked #13 - which is pretty damn good considering there are 32 teams overall. By this point, I had watched 4 days of soccer ...

The 4th At The Shores

In many of my previous posts about The Coronado Shores, I’ve written about how amazing the views are from 10 giant apartment buildings.  There’s the ocean on one side and the bay on the other. You might imagine apartments that are oceanside must be the clear winner since...well, since ...

Interview With MM

Shore, I Like Playing Games

‘Hide and Seek’ is not a game meant for kids only. It is a game that can be

Close Proximity

It’s a scorching summer day and you are looking for relief.  Ice cold water and lemonade help cure all this – but only for a minute.  As you stick your head in the freezer for some instant relief, you realize that the only thing that can possibly help ...

Collector's Items

When I was little kid I loved collecting things.  I would walk around the park picking up pinecones, trying to fit as many as I could into my tiny hands.  When I see kids doing that today, it always reminds me of Gus Gus. You know, from Cinderella ...

House Hunting

Not until I got into my older age did I enjoy house hunting.  Not to confuse the matter and say that I was actually searching for a house.  On the contrary.  When I say house hunting, I mean strolling through neighborhoods checking out different home design collecting ...

People Watchers

People watching is a wonderful thing.  Observing the way that humans behave can be very entertaining – they way one walks, talks, eats, converses, etc.  But it’s even more entertaining when the people you’re observing happen to be attractive.  Down at Coronado Beach, you will find loads ...
