Chargers vs Colts

Plenty of football this holiday season. This was the only pro game I went to, but it sure was a good one. Playoff game with San Diego at home vs. the Colts. Went into overtime, with a touchdown run right into the end zone in front of our seats! Alas, no jumping high fives from Scroles.

Rose Bowl 2009

I started this blog with the 2008 Rose Bowl, so I had to make sure and get a couple snaps from this years game for the blog.

We sat on the other end of the bowl this year, but pretty much every seat in the house is decent views.

We were at the VERY top row, but we had the wall behind us to lean on, and no knees in our back, so a solid trade off.

The game of course rocked, and USC looked solid as ever.

Went with Kirsten, but saw a couple other TKE's and friends at the game. Overall good times.

Poinsettia Bowl 2008

This is a snap from Peters seats. 45 yard line. Not to shabby, but see below why I settled for seats farther back.






TCU vs Boise St. with TCU squeaking out a win in the last two min.

We also had some tix for the Qualcomm box suite, so caught most the game up there. It was help yourself to the fridge.

Off the sidelines!

Well with all the turmoil were are hearing about in the markets, it may seem like a bad time to dabble in speculating. It probably is...
But, cash is king right now, and so with that, I opened a brokerage account last week to try my hand.
Ameritrade, with a month of free trades. Once that goes away, it's going to force me to pick longer term positions to cover my service costs since my investment size is still junior league.

fat dog - USC game

Saw this dog at one of the home games. Tried getting a shot with better perspective, but the dog was not standing, and everyone was kneeling down. Anyway, it was cool in person, and thought it was something fun.

Election day

Yeah I know it's well after the event, but for posterity's sake, here was the line in downtown long beach at 7am. Voting started at 7am btw, took about an hour and a half to make it to the front.

Football game last week

Here are a couple snaps of the good and bad that comes with game day.
