2009 NFL Predictions

September 8, 2009 at 1:57 pm (Sports thoughts, Uncategorized)

In the world of blogging, much like in the world of economics, supply and demand is an undeniable principle. Production of an unwanted product is, in the simplest of terms, worthless. Therefore the next few weeks will feature a few miscellaneous blog posts of varying subject matter to see if there is any more demand for Daniel’s Den to stay open.

If You Build It vs If You Don’t Build It

June 2, 2009 at 8:30 am (Uncategorized)

This past weekend we saw yet another new stadium proposal for the San Diego Chargers. These things sure do seem to come and go don’t they?

The primary argument behind building a new stadium in San Diego seems to be that “if you don’t build it, that Chargers will leave.” I don’t know about you but I don’t respond well to threats. And now as a newly registered San Diego voter I finally have a say in the matter! Read the rest of this entry »

Playing with fire…

April 10, 2009 at 10:24 am (Uncategorized)

When we left for our trip I left my car at my parents house so my brother could use it. The very next morning he text me to tell me I had received a parking ticket.

eegads!

Come to find out the ticket was given at 3:47 AM for not having a front license plate.

That’s frustrating. Really frustrating.

Since I am not one to stay silent about frustration I made sure to write a letter and include it with my fine.

This post is called playing with fire because I realize the increased possibility of reprisal acts from the city of Poway. Nevertheless I will not allow the tyranny of the overpaid meter maids to silence me!

here is what I wrote… Read the rest of this entry »

Mr Balcombe is going to Washington

February 7, 2009 at 11:45 am (Uncategorized)

My beautiful wife has been working furiously behind the scenes to create a wonderful birthday present for me. This time she may have outdone herself. She’s planned a trip for us to Washington DC.

I am so thrilled about this trip that I can little think of anything else.

We’ve already made several different arrangements for tours of certain government buildings as well as acquired tickets for a couple of different sporting events but the final itinerary is far from set.

So I bring it to you, the people, to help us determine how best to spend our days.

For all who have been to DC I ask you to give me a list of the top 10 things we absolutely MUST do. Also if you have any tips or anything like that we would love to hear it.

For those who have never been but have wanted to go I ask that you give me a list of things you think would be most fascinating.

I promise to give a detailed blog report on how the trip went after we get back.

NFL Playoff Predictions

December 31, 2008 at 10:07 am (Sports thoughts, Uncategorized)

It’s the classic situation where you might find yourself saying, “Stranger things have happened.”  And yet as I sit here today the fact of the matter is that as far as NFL playoffs are concerned nothing stranger has ever happened.

The Chargers have been everywhere this season; I mean that in terms of both their play and their travel. They have been on a strange path to say the least, becoming just the first team ever to make the playoffs from a 4-8 record. Becoming the first team ever to overcome a 3 game deficit with 3 games to play. Becoming the first team ever to make the playoffs while a team with 3 more wins than they have stays home (hehehe).

And now the pre-season darling to win it all is right there in contention to, well, win it all.

But will they? I know the answer to that question and so much more in my magical look into the future… Read the rest of this entry »
