Hi Ho, Hi Ho…

Recently I heard Bryan Adams whining, “Everything I do, I do it for you”.  It instantly brought me back to 1991, watching the end credits of Kevin Costner’s craptacular Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves for the thousandth time.  It was

Here’s one of the things I love about living in San Diego:  the surf report.  Every morning on my drive to work, our local public radio station does news, traffic, a blurb on weather, and the surf report.  The laconic
