    I started coming to Holy Family because it is close to my house and the priest at my old church was…read more90 or older and sounded like Mumbles from Dick Tracy. This church has a fast pace to it and the congregation seems really tight nit. The church is unassuming from the outside. Once inside, it is rotunda-like in appearance with most of the pews pretty close to the altar. Fr. Peter does a great job of connecting with the congregation by speaking about issues that are present in society. It's super easy to follow him, because he adds humor into what he's saying. The bulletin is pretty informative also. That's one of the things that should be a no brainer. If you want people to come to your church and keep coming back, there should be announcements of activities to build a sense of community. Holy Family seems to do a good job of that! Lastly, and most importantly haha - the service is like 45-50 minutes tops. None of those marathon mass sessions that plague some other churches where everyone in the congregation is falling asleep after the first 15. Looks like I've found my new church!

    I came here for mass the other week for the first time. They have a pretty early Saturday vigil…read moremass compared to other churches in the area. I realized when I got there that there's a large Vietnamese community. The church is really nice inside, it's smaller but has a nice bright interior. The priest was great, good homily too. Parking lot is a bit tight luckily there's an overflow lot that a easier to get in and out of.

    Of all of the sports I might imagine having an affinity for, I have to say, lawn bowling has not…read morebeen hovering at the top of that list. However, when a bunch of my elders, whom I greatly respect, give up their Saturday gaming and agree to get their requisite whites dirty to show a bunch of hoodlums how to play, they have my attention and best effort. Forget that we may or may not have been drinking and we may have made an unsavory joke or two in what we were informed, quite promptly, is a family establishment (can establishments be a well groomed grassy playing court in a park?). Those little snafus aside I was going to give this lopsided ball rolling my best go. Did you know that not only are the balls lopsided but they are weighted heavier to one side so that there will always be a curve out or in when you roll them? I didn't either but thanks to my stellar lesson I do now!! So, I roll the balls for the first time and, wow, its fun! In all of my alcohol induced glee I decided it was a great idea to take on the ultimate challenge and play the US Lawn Bowling Champion. And. I. Beat. Him. What??? Yep, the crowd went wild. I won a very nice polo shirt. Bells were rung, I, one by one, shook the hand of each of the lawn bowling club members present that day, who also happen to have a great sense of humor about these things. I was invited to watch this very same player compete in the World Championship happening in San Francisco this September. Lawn Bowling. Who knew?? I am going to buy some white pants and do this again. Yes. I am purchasing white pants. If that doesn't say love I don't know what does.

    After years of walking by the lawn bowling club and seeing the older folks decked out in all white,…read morehappily rolling balls across a meticulously coiffed field, I finally decided to try it. I saw a daily deal for a party for 10 at the lawn bowling club and jumped on it. When we arrived on the day of the party, we were met by a handful of ... well, lawn bowling people. They were all super helpful. They helped us all pick out our "bowls" (a set of 4 lawn bowling balls that fit your hand) then we went to the field to play. They explained the rules (there are a LOT -- way more than I expected!) and then they helped us while we played. The bowls are oblong and have a weight on one side, which means you have to really think about where you are aiming. The helpers were all patient and nice, but if I had any small recommendations, it would be that they hang back after a while and just let us play without critiquing and commenting on every shot. But they were just trying to be helpful. Everyone in my group had a great time and some even signed up for a membership. There was a big discount for the membership that day ($68), but normally it is $165/yr. With a membership, you can pretty much go to play whenever you want. If you are curious about lawn bowling, you should give it a try. Call them up and see if they have any special deals or rates for a first timer who wants to try it out. It's a great way to spend a day in the lovely San Diego sun. (And the all-white clothing is only required in Sundays!)
