We couldn't find that.
Let's go back home and try again.
At Home With Greg Koch & Sara Tobin Posted September 27, 2013 Greg Koch, the self-described “beer-geek-gone-pro” greets us at his Solana Beach home, a serene spot that he shares with girlfriend Sara Tobin, a yoga and acting teacher, overlooking the San Elijo Lagoon. “It’s kind of our oasis from the fray,” says Koch, who…
Q: Do you remember your first beer? A: I had found a couple of beer cans, full, in an empty lot or something. Q: This was when you were about? A: Fourteen, probably 13. I nervously snuck it, and I put it in the rafters, the eves of the garage in my home…
Sometimes, to make a difference, you have to move mountains. Or better yet, you can climb them.

Summit4StemCell supports non-embryonic stem cell research that could…

Kathleen Connor is fast becoming the go-to party planner for A-Listers in Rancho Santa Fe.

At Home With Sheryl & Harvey White Posted July 24, 2013 “It’s like a piece of sculpture,” says Sheryl White, gazing at the Torrey Pine just outside her dining room window. “We’re nestled in between all these trees. It’s very special.” The metaphor is so apropos because Sheryl, a founding board member of Torrey Pines…
There’s nothing quite like a day at the racetrack. Sitting in the grandstands, we watch as the horses wait restlessly for the announcer: “And they’re off!” We cheer as they charge out of the gates, nostrils flaring and hooves kicking up dust. We jump up and down as “our horse” takes the lead. Maybe our…
They say change begins at home. That’s definitely true for Lale Labuko, who was recently named a National Geographic Emerging Explorer for his humanitarian work in Ethiopia. Labuko, 30, is on a mission to end mingi, the ritualistic killing of “cursed children” practiced by tribes in the remote Omo Valley region of Southeast Africa. And…
When Marlee Matlin became the youngest woman to receive the Best Actress Oscar for her debut film — and the only deaf actress to date — the victory was bittersweet. Clutching her Oscar in the limo after the awards ceremony, she says her co-star in Children of a Lesser God, belittled and berated her. She…

Dagmar Midcap Posted on June 2, 2016 She is as sunny as San Diego’s near perfect weather. But on the day of our interview with NBC 7 San Diego weather anchor Dagmar Midcap, wouldn’t you know, it rains. (So who says it never rains in Southern California?) The irony is not lost on us —…
