Rancho Bernardo's Cole Hamels won the World Series MVP Award! He didn't get credited with a win for the game since the Phillies gave up the lead in the 7th inning (Hamels was taken out in the 6th). But, the Phillies went back ahead to win the World Series and Hamels was named the MVP for his win in Game 1 and his strong performance in Game 5. He did it!

The Palomar Observatory Tour with the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center is a must see activity for anyone who likes to look up at the stars.

]]> Comment on There IS a Green Flash in San Diego! by The Best Places in San Diego http://thebestplacesinsandiego.com/blog/2008/there-is-a-green-flash-in-san-diego/#comment-932 The Best Places in San Diego Mon, 15 Sep 2008 02:12:26 +0000 http://thebestplacesinsandiego.com/blog/?p=275#comment-932 Thanks for the recommendation. I like the storyline: "When the Morning Post writes about the legendary Green Ray's elevating effects on the mind and soul, Helena Campbell vows to experience it for herself, postponing the wedding being forced upon her against her will. Together with her uncles, Sam and Sib Melville, she sets off on what becomes a near-epic quest. Joining them in the search for the Green Ray are two would-be suitors for Helena, one an artist, the other an amateur scientist. Together, this little band will voyage to a distant shore--and beyond--braving hurricanes, testing their patience and resolve, and ultimately finding their own true selves." I just put a hold on it at the library. For those who want their own copy, here's a link to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1905222122?ie=UTF8&tag=shop031-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1905222122" rel="nofollow">The Green Ray</a> at Amazon.
