We’re having SUPER weather in San Diego that would make it the perfect host city for the event that’s going on in Indianapolis today. Sunny warm weather, 55,000 hotel rooms and thousands of restaurants and the NFL won’t give us the time of day.
Why? Because we have a 45 year old stadium. I’m hoping we can get a new venue without costing the taxpayers and be hosting the bowl in a few years.

Thanks for including my chocolate giveaway, Kay. I’m eager to draw a winner so I can get these chocolate bars off of my desk and in the mail. (I’ve already eaten mine. LOL)
