C.H.A. Event Set the Bar High

Bobby Kennedy — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 21:51:03 +0000

The Coronado Historical Association’s Gala, “Celebrating Coronado History”, Saturday night at the Coronado Island Marriott was a grand evening indeed. Everything from the placards on the tables for the silent auction to dessert was first class. Particularly, Gerry MacCartee and Nancy Cobb’s historical presentation was fun, educational and entertaining. Fundraising appeared to be very successful at the live auction also. Look out the rest of Coronado’s many swank fundraising events. The bar has been raised! Nancy Helsper and Carol Raiter as co-chairs outdid themselves for a worthy cause.

Each day we are inundated with digital messages and sound bites clamoring for our attention. Imagine our surprise and delight when we received this graciously hand-written note of appreciation from long-time Coronado resident Jeanne Shoemaker.

Thank you Jeanne, you truly brightened our day.

President’s Day and Fat Tuesday

Bobby Kennedy — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 21:10:08 +0000

As you can see it was a great day on the water in San Diego Bay. The company boat is a Kayot S245, and unlike most of the other toys (I mean company assets) it does not have a name yet. Is that bad luck? Any suggestions? Maybe Miss KenPubl or ToBook. Kinda of a play on words there if you didn’t notice.

Speaking of Fat Tuesday and life’s a party… be on the lookout for “The Prince of Coronado” currently making the rounds in Hollywood. A small hint for you, as to what the heck is he talking about. It revolves around a previous company asset called BESTRQZ, and some related adventures.

Scattergun Shoutout!

Above this morning’s sunrise was a crescent moon equally spectacular!! Sorry for all the exclamation points. I’m sorry for all my shortcomings. A little too “loose” after last nights Chamber event. As a matter of fact, this is yesterday’s sunrise anyway. I sound a little pious because earlier while filling up CORMKTG, (that’s one of the cars) at Costco all the car owners were standing around watching the fuel dispensers barely crawling and complaining, but laughing at all my usual antics as I normally set the dispenser gun and then interact with anything close. As the guy on duty comes over to my car’s machine bantering about how he could do nothing about it, but would call someone, I notice, because of my “looseness” I had set the gun on unleaded and CORMKTG takes premium. We mostly drive 10SNADO which is a little Prius and takes unleaded in my defense. I quickly close out and start filling up with premium getting ready to go back to the slow crawling, but it starts dispensing at the normal rate. As I am freaking about my divine intervention, I look around and the others are all back up to speed as well. We all looked at each other with amazement, knowing, because of my vocalism about being appreciative and that the powers that be correcting my blunder, immediately tagged me as being very worthy, as well as pretty entertaining. They all left and went right away to their nearest houses of worship and I, of course, came to work. Sorry Pastor Dave.

Back to the Chamber party. Good to see a lot of friends, old and new. Special shout out to Luca and Il Fornaio for the surroundings and hospitality. It was fun kibitzing with Shirley Nakawakatase from Imperial Beach and Coronado city manager Blair King about the glory days of IB when KPC was doing the IB Book, Blair was doing the city manager role, and Shirley was doing almost everything else. Always good to see the father/daughter team of Dave and Margaret Herring in attendance with their significant others. Never thought talking about rocks with Coronado First Bank manager, Renee Hinton could be as thrilling as it was. For that matter, watching the bevy of groups from the Eagle, Coronado Beauty Salon, Coronado Hospital Foundation, Coronado Republican Women, Discover Wellness and a host of others all enjoying themselves for our amusement. Even Dan McGeorge from the island’s new gallery, an old DINFOS trained killer like myself, was seen “having at” the festivities. I think I have corrected the looseness so I quit. LOL

No, I have to tell you about a few others so you get the drift… Phil and Pam Hammett, Doreen Tafelski, Yvonne Barnum, Mary Jo Morgan, Mary Ann Berta, Denise Scwab, all were laughing like crazy at Ruth Ann Fisher on the microphone…drifting yet?… Root 75 owner Kristy Pierre…how about now?

Flip It or Turn Around

OK … now do an about-face from Would you believe … (that’s turn around to the non-military minded).

This was the inspiration for a book cover. What year did it come out? Hint – It was a painted version of this view. For reference, see the CTB cover art archive »

Would you believe…

this was taken with a big, rather huge telephoto lens from Coronado!

Helicopters on Silver Strand

Down by Radars – Really low to the beach. One copter was practicing dropping off guys hanging on to a long rope while the other was engaged in landing and take-off manuevers.

Is this why the traffic lights were out at the other end of the strand?

Coming Home Everyday – Pass it around

Bobby Kennedy — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:51:10 +0000

Coming Home to Coronado

After taking my son up to LJCD everyday for school I return over the SD-Coronado Bay Bridge to Nado. Turning left on A Ave (after 8am of course) and up to the stop sign to cross 4th Street.

There everyday is an older gentleman standing around his house doing chores or sometimes just standing on the sidewalk. We always wave hello to each other and he always seems happy.

Great way to start the day. Pass it around world. We could use it!

Loving Coronado

Good Morning
