(link for video blog will be here later)

Monday and here we go again.  Fog and low clouds along coast giving way to partial sunshine.  60' at the beaches and 70'ss inland.

The Dodgers drubbed.  The Angels host the Yankees... looks grim for both LA teams. Good Monday night football game tonight.  How about that John Gruden as an analyst?  He's great.  Rumor has it he may be the new head coach at ND?  Wouldn't that be great!
