EMBARK
From the editor...
Crazy summer so far. Same-sex marriages are legal, driving while holding a cell phone is
not, and there’s actually a chance that someone other than a white guy will soon become
President. Things are changing faster than ever. Could a billion Obama campaign signs
be wrong?
Until there’s a 40 mph Segway, it looks like we may need to keep on driving. So, instead
of complaining about the cost of gas, perhaps we should celebrate current prices while
we still can—it can’t be too long before five bucks a gallon seems like a steal.
Whether global warming is our fault, or it’s just nature wreaking havoc, things are
definitely heating up. Inside this HOT TIMES issue of PacificSD, ten coastal San Diego
County mayors say what’s best about their respective beaches (none mention the
alcohol ban) in “Mayor League.” If the ocean isn’t your thing, cool off in “Any Swimmin’
Sunday,” a guide to San Diego’s poolside hot spots, then discover the region’s hottest
penthouse restaurants in “Sky Dining.”
Thank you to Hotel Solamar for providing the scorching backdrop for “White Hot,” this
month’s sizzling fashion editorial. Thank you, too, to Clay’s La Jolla for hosting a romantic
sunset blind date 11 stories above La Jolla Shores.
The economy is a mess, but at least we still live in paradise. So, let’s lather on the SPF and
have a terrific summer. If you need me, I’ll be on the beach, drinking
Captain Morgan out of a Slurpee cup.

KGB-FM’S IRREVERENT MORNING
SHOW PERSONALITY RESPONDS TO
READERS’ LETTERS
by Cookie “chainsaw” randolph
Chainsaw’s
As the all-knowing Dean of American Sportscasters, I love nothing more than
fielding thoughtful, intelligent sports questions. Until then, I’ll answer these:
Dear Chainsaw,
Is San Diego being considered
for an NBA franchise?
-Noah Hopps, National City
Noah,
You just made King
Stahlman’s mouth water.
Dear Chainsaw,
What do you think of the people
who heckled the Olympic Torch?
-Hugh Johnson, El Cajon
Hugh,
Well, they are Boo-dists, after all.
Dear Chainsaw,
Boo-dists? Really? Try
answering this: Do you think
that carbon-fiber artificial legs
give sprinter Oscar Pistorious
an unfair advantage in his quest
for Olympic Gold?
-Venus D., Chula Vista
Venus,
Only to the extent they’re lighter,
they spring, they take less energy
to propel, and, if he sprains an
ankle, he can just screw on another
one. It’s easy to be inspired by this
guy. I’m petitioning the Olympic
Committee to give me a 30-yard
head start, because I was born
tragically slow. Wish me luck.
Dear Chainsaw,
Did you hear about the Utah
track meet photographer who
got stuck in the leg by a javelin
and kept on taking pictures?
-Shindra Pierce, Del Mar
Shindra,
Amazing courage. Even more
impressive is that, because he
staggered a few more yards before
falling down, he enabled the javelin
thrower to set the meet record.
Dear Chainsaw,
Do you think there should
be an asterisk placed next to
Barry Bonds’ home run record?
-Colon Ampersand,
Imperial Beach
Colon,
I think the question mark is a more
sarcastic punctuation choice: 762?
Dear Chainsaw,
How do you explain infinite
space in the Universe?
-Carl Sagan, Pluto
Carl,
The Universe is just a bubble some
giant kid from another dimension
is about to step on. How could
you not know that? Besides, the
only infinite space I care about
is the outfield in Petco Park. To
paraphrase Ronald Reagan:
“Mr. Moores? Bring in those walls!”
Dear Chainsaw,
Do you think Roger
Clemens took steroids?
-Aitch Jeeyaitch, La Jolla
Aitch,
No, he bought them for a fair price.
Dear Chainsaw,
I think this magazine is
awesome. Do you get to
party with all the hot models
that are in each issue?
-Markus Envy, National City
Markus,
No, but I saw the guy with killer abs
once. Can you keep a secret? They
were totally Photoshopped.
Dear Chainsaw,
One last question. Can
the Chargers make it to
the Super Bowl?
-Paul Mreader, Santee
Paul,
Yes. But how did you know
yours would be the last question?
Chainsaw gets confused weekday mornings at 101.5 KGB-FM on the Dave, Shelly and Chainsaw

Lighten Up
Bask in the glow of
Bruce Nauman’s risqué artwork
by ADRIENNE LUDWIG
Since the early 1970s, contemporary artist Bruce Nauman has
been widely regarded as an innovative bad-boy. Nauman’s
mischievous experimentation with light draws inspiration from
neon beer signs, whose commercial messages he aimed to
subvert by depicting adult themes and provocative language
twists in his own naughty neon artwork.
Despite his work’s controversial nature, Nauman
has long garnered international praise
from art aficionados. In 2006, his irreverent design
and thought-provoking symbolism were
rewarded by artfacts.com, who named him the
world’s #1 living artist.
Through August 31, La Jolla’s Museum of Contemporary
Art invites visitors to get illuminated,
inspired and maybe even a little offended
by Elusive Signs, an exhibition of Nauman’s
neon work from 1965-1985.

Flower Power
GEORGIA O’KEEFFE’S MASTERWORKS ON DISPLAY
by ADRIENNE LUDWIG
Georgia O’Keeffe was a groundbreaking
artist who used brilliant
color schemes and powerful symbolism
to depict the struggles
women faced in the early 20th
century.
In addition to her uniquely
abstract landscapes, O’Keeffe
is most well-known for her
large-scale paintings of flowers,
seashells and other curvilinear
forms suggestive of the female
anatomy. She was a master
of perceiving emotion in the
creations of nature, and she
incorporated that bold vision into
artwork that led President Ronald
Regan to award her with National
Medal of Arts in 1985.
After touring the country for
more than a year, the Georgia
O’Keeffe and the Women of
the Stieglitz Circle exhibit finally
arrives in San Diego’s oldest and
largest art museum. The show
features more than 80 works from
O’Keeffe and four other female
artists who, in addition to inspiring
O’Keeffe, were all promoted
by Alfred Stieglitz, the man who
discovered O’Keeffe and later
married her.

FUNNY PAGES
DAVID SEDARIS’ LATEST BOOK
by bonnie vandewater
No stranger to San Diego, David Sedaris
visited Copley Symphony Hall on June 30
to promote his latest book, When You Are
Engulfed in Flames (published by Little, Brown
Book Group, which Sedaris chose because
he liked their logo best). This collection of
sardonic essays and awkward, neurotic stories
from Sedaris’ bizarre life is sure to make you
squirm and smirk. The book takes you from
the beautiful French countryside to a shady
North Carolina mobile home to buy drugs—
and somewhere in there, an uncomfortable
plane ride demonstrates the gravity of daily
dilemmas we all encounter.
In a recent interview, here’s what the funnyman
had to say:
On the tip jar that sits on the table next to
him during book signings: “I spend on all
of the money on myself. If I were to say to the
audience, ‘This money is for charity,’ people
wouldn’t do it. I’m just very clear about it. I’m
gonna buy cigarettes with it, candy, milkshakes,
whatever I want.”
On blending fantasy with reality: “A lot
of people ask how much I exaggerate. Like
sometimes I’ll be at a dinner party and I’ll tell
a story and someone will say, ‘That’s not true.’
And I’ll think, ‘What does it matter if it’s true?
It’s a story!’“
On monkeys: “The thing is, most monkeys are
great ideas. But the Helping Hands monkeys
(Helping Hands provides monkey helpers for
the disabled) are just what you would want: a
slave. And you can say to any of these monkeys,
‘Go get me a cup of coffee’ and it would
do it. ‘Empty this ashtray.’ It would do it. And
I don’t really like to name people I think are
lousy writers, but if any one of them came to
town and I knew they had a monkey, I’d go and
buy their book, because it’d bring me closer
to that monkey.”

SHUFFLE YOURSELF TO FITNESS WITH an intense workout
created by a San Diego Navy SEAL by Leslie gaylor
Diversifying is as fundamental to
getting in shape as it is to investing.
Just as putting all of your
money in one place isn’t a safe
bet (unless you bought oil futures
when Dubya moved into the
White House), repeating the same
old exercises can stymie your
fitness. Kick your butt into gear
and fight boredom with FitDeck, a
simple workout created by an ex-
Navy SEAL and current San Diego
firefighter, Phil Black.
FitDeck is a unique deck of cards
that offers three trillion different
workouts. Just shuffle the deck,
pick a card, and start moving.
Each card depicts one of 50
upper-, middle-, lower- or fullbody
exercises. The cards provide
illustrations and instructions,
and are color-coded to represent
different parts of the body.
Blue cards, for example, indicate
upper-body exercises, challenging
users to complete sequences of
push-ups, pull-ups, etc. Depending
upon your level of fitness,
you may choose to complete the
number of repetitions indicated
for beginner, intermediate or
advanced athletes.
In lieu of dumbbells or gym
equipment, FitDeck employs the
user’s own bodyweight to build
core strength, develop aerobic
endurance and enhance muscle
growth and flexibility. To lose even
more weight, Black recommends
coupling FitDeck regimens with
walking, biking or other lowimpact
cardio workouts.
FitDeck comes with a convenient
carrying case (what doesn’t these
days?), making it perfect for taking
on the road. Start your kids on the
path to fitness with the Fitdeck Jr.,
and keep your eyes open for 20
new versions of FitDeck slated to
be released this summer.

Sun Screener
an altruistic doctor offers free skin cancer screenings
By Adrienne Ludwig
While the alcohol ban may make the beach
a safer place, it will certainly not protect your
skin from the sun’s harmful effects, which often
remain hidden until long after your tan fades.
“Any color change from the sun is a sign of
damage,” says Dr. Erik Austin of the Austin
Dermatology Center, in La Jolla. “There is no
such thing as a healthy tan.”
An osteopathic physician and graduate of
Harvard University School of Public Health,
Austin takes a holistic approach to medicine
and always puts his patients’ needs first. This
is especially evident in his standing offer to
give free, no-strings-attached skin cancer
screenings to the public, regardless of their
age, insurance or financial standing. “My drive
is doing something nice, while giving back to
the community and raising skin cancer awareness,”
says Austin. On average, the generous
doctor screens 15 new patients for free each
week, all year long.

Absolutely
Spa-velous
Let the Catamaran Spa rejuvenate you
by LESLIE GAYLOR
Inspired by South Pacific and Asian healing traditions, the Catamaran Spa’s luxury treatments
include therapeutic and meditative massages, facials, body wraps, anti-aging skin treatments
and more. While the quality of services offered here is second to none, it’s the wow-factor of
the spa’s bay-front location that makes it such a popular destination for locals and tourists
alike.
Situated within the tropical oasis of the Catamaran Resort, the spa pampers visitors in an
Edenic atmosphere. While some guests relish in restorative treatments, others unwind in the
outdoor whirlpool or sweat it out in the steam room. The spa’s bayside fitness center, replete
with flat screens and floor-to-ceiling windows, affords unobstructed water views.
Try an Oceanic Detox, let gentle hands wrap you in seaweed or bask in a Babassu Milk Bath.
The spa also offers couples massages and nail care for men and women. Be sure to plan
ahead—the spa is so popular that the Catamaran now advises scheduling appointments two
weeks in advance for weekdays and four weeks in advance for weekends. Being spoiled in
such opulence is well worth the wait.

Firstly, I think that one of the reasons Oceanside has a great beach is that it’s in southern
California and has great weather. Secondly, we’re the first city that you reach in
San Diego County when you’re coming south from L.A. We also have the longest
pier on the west coast of the United States. Plus, we have one of the largest beaches,
because we dredge our harbor and put the sand back on the beach yearly.

We have a beach improvement plan that keeps our beaches quite sandy. It attracts people
from all over the area. Whatever type of restaurant you’re seeking can be found along
Carlsbad’s beach—steakhouses, Fish House Vera Cruz, Luigi’s. Plus, we have over 4,000
hotel rooms of different varieties. A number of surfers come here all of the time, because
this is one of the first areas to really establish surfing in the San Diego region.

Jerry Sanders
Mayor of San Diego
San Diego is justifiably renowned for its 17 miles of Pacific Ocean shoreline
and beaches. There are numerous individual beaches, some attracting tourists,
some more popular with residents and locals and surfers, and some more
comfortable for families. San Diego’s beaches without exception are notable
for clean sand and clean water; they are readily accessible without charge;
and they are safe to visit and enjoy due to outstanding maintenance and the
vigilance of the City’s safety services.

Tom Smisek
Mayor of Coronado
Coronado has the widest beach in Southern California. For many years, multiple rating
agencies have voted us as one of the top ten beaches in the United States. We
have fire pits, so people can have cookouts, and we have a dog beach, where dogs
are allowed to play in the surf. From some great surfing, to the action of airplanes
flying over the Navy base, to calming sunsets over Point Loma, Coronado just has
everything for everybody.

Ron Morrison
Mayor of National City
Even though we don’t have direct access to the water, we’re putting
in high-rises that will allow for up to 10,000 new housing units. So, one
way we are taking advantage of our proximity to the ocean and bayfront
is by providing affordable condominium projects that have ocean
and bay views.
Cheryl Cox
Mayor of Chula Vista
Although Chula Vista doesn’t have any beaches, it certainly has bayfront. The
best thing about our bayfront is its potential. Our partnership with Gaylord Entertainment
may bring in restaurants, shops and a convention center that will
create good visitor expenditure. It will be awesome if we can pull this project
together. Chula Vista has been attempting to develop our bayfront for 35 years,
and now we’re close—the environmental impact report is due back in mid-July.

We’re a great, small, accessible beach. It’s easy for parking, and the atmosphere
is very family oriented. We’ve got a great pier, and we have a
unique swell that certain surfers really enjoy. And we have the U.S. Open
Sandcastle Competition. For those people in San Diego that haven’t
come down to Imperial Beach in years, there’s been some great improvements,
and it’s a lot different than what its reputation was 40 years ago.

When it comes to chasing down good eats, we don’t

No need to “get a room” when hunger strikes on the 22nd floor
of the San Diego Marriott Gaslamp Quarter hotel. Visitors to
this hip venue, bathed in multi-colored lights, can simply pick up
a courtesy phone and order through room service. The menu
includes an assortment of artisan flat breads, a 10-ounce Ranch
burger, pot stickers and lobster quesadillas, all made in the
hotel’s kitchen. Enjoy the bird’s eye view of Petco Park’s playing
field on game nights, or sink into the groove of live DJ music on
Friday and Saturday evenings.
Brian’s Eatery & drinkery / gaslamp
828 Sixth Ave. » 619.702.8410
You have to work a little to enjoy the 360-degree view of
Downtown from the 11th floor patio of Brian’s Drinkery and Eatery.
Patrons tote their food and libations from the restaurant’s groundlevel
dining room 10 floors up on an elevator and then trudge up a
short flight of stairs that leads to the roof. There is no wait service
in this slice of sky, but customers are afforded ample seating,
lights and heat lamps at the top. Steaks, seafood and pasta dishes
comprise an all-day menu of no-nonsense comfort food.

If your out-of-town guests missed
the incoming views of San Diego
from their airplane seats, take
them to the Top of the Hyatt.
Located on the 40th floor of the
Manchester Hyatt’s Harbor Tower,
this parlor-like lounge features
floor-to-ceiling windows seemingly
designed to weaken your knees.
From 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. daily, visitors
can gawk at the views from high
above over light appetizers and
desserts, or further jangle their
senses with a few martinis from
the bar.
July marks peak season at the popular
Terrace Grill, an indoor-outdoor space
located on the sixth-floor rooftop of
downtown’s Omni San Diego Hotel.
With the exception of spiffed up
conventioneers who trail in for lunch,
the breezy atmosphere and casual
food menu dictate summer threads.
Lounge chairs and four-top tables
extend from pool to bar, allowing
you to lazily savor mango quesadillas,
burgers and hearty sandwiches with
a stellar view of San Diego Bay. Bud
Light drafts and margaritas cost $3
and $5 respectively when you order
any food item.
When we want pretty urban
views with our weekday lunches,
we journey seven stories to the
roof of the charming and historic
Park Manor Suites in Hillcrest.
Constructed nearly a century ago,
the spacious restaurant sucks in
panoramas of San Diego Bay,
Point Loma and Balboa Park,
while invoking a palette of classic
architectural detail. Open Mondays
through Fridays for lunch only, Top
of the Park is one of the best kept
secrets among tight-scheduled
business folk, since there’s rarely a
wait to land a table.
Perched on the 10th floor of the
historic La Valencia hotel, the recently
renovated Sky Room is home to
intimate feedings of top-score Kobe
beef, Hudson Valley foie gras and San
Diego’s most expensive appetizer,
called Stars in the Sky. For $2,100,
the latter affords you two glasses of
vintage bubbly served in Baccarat
crystal flutes, an ounce of fine caviar
and four Royal Miyagi oysters, one of
which reveals a Tahitian black pearl.
The stemware and coveted gem go
home with you; the 180-degree view
of La Jolla Cove does not.

CHEF of the month
Great
Scott
MEET Deborah Scott, Executive chef
AND CO-OWNER OF Island Prime,
Indigo Grill and Kemo Sabe
by Nicole D’Alesandro Photo by Greg Ramirez
As executive chef and partner of Island Prime,
Indigo Grill and Kemo Sabe, Deborah Scott
has a full plate. Her restaurants are part of the
Cohn Restaurant Group, a family-run culinary
empire that also includes The Prado in Balboa
Park, Blue Point and Dakota Grill in the
Gaslamp, and six other local eateries.
“If it weren’t for the Cohns, I would’ve never
had the opportunity to achieve all that I
have,” says Scott, whose partnership with the
Cohns began when she opened Indigo Grill
in Little Italy 14 years ago. David and Lesley
Cohn frequented Indigo with their kids; David
was such a big fan of Scott’s cooking that he
approached her to be his business partner.
The relationship blossomed, transcending
the nuts and bolts of everyday hospitality
management.
“Not only are David and Lesley my business
partners, but they are two of the best friends
I’ve ever had,” says Scott.
Focusing much of her creative energy on
presentation, Scott makes sure that the
plates she serves are full of vibrant color.
That, combined with her knack for blending
Pacific Rim and Asian flavors, has certainly
contributed to the success of Island Prime,
where Scott spends most of her time.
Scott developed her unique style while
training at the prestigious Culinary Institute
of America, but it was her father’s influence
that made the greatest impact on her craft.
“We grilled clams and oysters on a grate in
the sand, and caught flounder and oysters
during summers in the Outer Banks of North
Carolina,” she recalls.
Aside from the uncommon ingredients she
uses every day – such as huitacoche, a corn
fungus used for Indigo Grill’s tamales – Scott
says that the most important thing to have
in the kitchen is a love for food and the
restaurant industry.
“You have to have passion for this business,”
she says. “It can’t be forced.”
q&A with chef scott:
PacificSD: What was your
involvement in creating the menus for
Island Prime, Indigo Grill and
Kemo Sabe?
SCOTT: I write the menus, but also
give my sous chefs the opportunity to
interject their ideas.
PacificSD: What do enjoy doing in
your spare time?
SCOTT: Going to church, open
houses, eating at other restaurants
and having outdoor cookouts with my
life partner Sharon and friends.
PacificSD: What cooking tips can you
offer for the non-chefs among us?
SCOTT: Buy good ingredients,
barbecue outdoors more often and
don’t be afraid to experiment.
PacificSD: What goals do you have
now that you’ve accomplished
so much?
SCOTT: Convert the former Rueben
E. Lee [an old ship docked adjacent
to Island Prime] into a restaurant,
complete a cookbook
and travel more.
PacificSD: What is the best advice
anyone ever gave you?
SCOTT: Don’t worry about what
others may think, but be sure that
you are proud of yourself and your
actions.
PacificSD: Who would you most
like to cook for?
SCOTT: I honestly love cooking for
our guests. They are what have made
me successful, and there is no larger
pleasure than pleasing them.

The PB AleHouse serves up a new level of chill this
summer with four handcrafted homebrews, including
the light and refreshing Whitewash Wheat. A huge hit
with connoisseurs, this cloudy beer is prepared in the
Belgian style of witbier (pronounced vit-beer, Flemish
for “white beer”).
The unfiltered process produces a brew that’s light
on hops and heavy on flavor. Seasoned with hints of
coriander and Curaçao orange peel, then garnished
with a slice of orange, Whitewash Wheat is the perfect
beer for sundrenched summer days.
Todd Murray, the AleHouse’s general manager,
suggests pairing the beer with their crispy calamari
and zesty cocktail sauce, or the Dungeness crab cakes

Imagine
falling in love
with the model
on the cover of
a magazine you
just received in
the mail, and
then writing
the publisher to
request a date with
the model. Seems
like an unrealistic
waste of time,
right? At least one
Navy doctor
doesn’t think so.
Here’s the email the
doctor sent to PacificSD.
Dear PacificSD,
My name is Rob. I am an active
and young 30-somethingyear-old
Navy physician,
recently accepted into the
Navy Flight Surgeon program.
My path is similar to that of
the Navy dive doctor that
appeared on ABC’s The
Bachelor a while ago, except
that I diverged to flight school
instead of dive school. I
believe that, like that bachelor,
I have a lot to offer someone.
However, after a near miss or
two a long time ago, I am still
single. I found it very hard to
meet anyone during medical
school and my internship, but
now, after five years of near
constant pressure to study and
perform professionally, I would
love to have a life again. I am
funny, fun, well-liked, athletic,
in shape and very sociable,
but just have not been ga-ga
over someone since I can
remember.
My perfect match: Reading
your April 2008 issue, I was
totally and completely taken
by the model on the cover,
Patience—taken especially by
one feature from one picture
in particular, her smile on page
25. Looking at it, I pick up
that she is fun-loving, sweet,
kind, beautiful and glowing…
all from the smile. It blows
me away. Even though she is
wearing a trash bag on the
cover*, I would love to meet
her and would even subject
myself to being followed
around by a reporter if a blind
date were to be arranged.
Sincerely, Rob
Rob isn’t the only man in town
to have a crush on Patience,
but he is the only one to
have expressed his desires in
writing. To reward his efforts,
PacificSD’s matchmakers
forwarded Rob’s email to
Patience, not because we
actually expected her to go
on a blind date with the Navy
doc, but because we are
100% devoted to our readers
and, whenever possible, try to
get them dates with covergirls
(or boys). It was a long shot
at best, so we didn’t expect
much of a response from Patience,
but she actually called.
Here’s what she said:
“I got the email and just
started reading it, and my
mouth dropped open. It was
very sweet and well written,
and he had nothing but good
intentions. It made an impression
that he pointed out a
certain picture and named all
of these qualities. It was obvious
that he had really thought
about it. He didn’t just say,
‘The girl on the cover is hot, I
want her.’ He wanted to meet
me. He seems like a real good
quality guy, and I figured that
it’d be silly for me not to meet
him. For him to put all that
time into writing the letter and
to be willing to subject himself
to being followed around, just
to meet me, I mean, who am
I to turn that down? I decided
that I should give this guy a
chance.”
Talk about shock and awe.
A beautiful model agrees to
go on a date with a guy she’s
never met, and she hasn’t
even seen a photo of him.
To reward Rob’s eagerness
and Patience’s willingness,
PacificSD treats the couple to
a romantic blind date.

LOVE
[ a doctor’s patience continued ]
At Sunset,
the day fades over
Children’s Pool,
the La Jolla
beach spot where
sea lions converge.
Before Rob and
Patience meet,
PacificSD asks them
how they’re feeling
about tonight.
he says...
“Writing into a magazine
and trying to date their cover
models is absolutely not
something I typically do.
In no way did I think it
would actually work. It’s a
little bit anxiety provoking.”
Describe yourself in
three words: “Impulsive,
assertive, loyal.”
Describe your dream
woman in three words:
“A female me. Actually,
funny, exciting, beautiful.
Probably in that order.”
Best thing that could
happen tonight?
“I couldn’t imagine anything
better than just going out
and enjoying myself and,
more importantly, having her
enjoying herself.”
Worst thing that could
happen? ”I suppose if we
get along dreadfully,
that would be terrible.”
Final thoughts?
“My friends are gonna rip
me at the end of this thing.”
she says...
“It’s not a big deal that he
knows what I look like, while
I have no clue what he looks
like. I’m just curious about
the chemistry.
“I was married and I’ve
been single for three years
now. I really haven’t dated
much, and I’ve only had one
relationship since I’ve been
single. This is a first for me
and I’m excited and nervous
to see how this all plays out.”
Describe yourself in
three words: “Honest,
playful, understanding.”
Describe the man of your
dreams in three words:
“Honest, respectful,
thoughtful.”
Best thing that could
happen tonight? “All I’m
really expecting is to meet
a good quality person,
and whatever comes of it,
comes of it.
Worst thing that could
happen? ”If he turns out to
be a total psycho.
That would not be good.”
Final thoughts? ”I have
purposely crammed in lots
of activities over the past few
days, so that I’m too busy
to think too much about
tonight. When I sit down is
when I start to get nervous.”
They meet...
Rob approaches for the big
reveal. As he meets Patience
for the first time, he blushes
and seems awkward but
appears to relax as the two
stroll by the beach.
right after sunset...
PacificSD chauffeurs

Jolla and south to Mexico.
During the ride, Patience
does most of the talking,
while Rob remains quiet.

LOVE
[ a doctor’s patience continued ]
At Clay’s,
Patience and Rob
take a seat at the bar
for cocktails and
appetizers. The
exquisite views are
par for the course
here; the live jazz
electrifies the
atmosphere.
Before dinner begins,
the two are split for
mid-date debriefings.
He says…
“So far so good. At first, we
both agreed that it was kind
of nerve-wracking, but the
anxiety is kind of over. I told
Patience that she looks just
like her picture, and that
my initial response to her
picture was pretty strong.
She’s a good talker, too. One
of her favorite activities is
to get together with friends
and chat and things like that.
And that’s huge, you know?
That’s pretty much similar to
my coffee-shop lifestyle.
“I don’t think either of us
are really small-talkers. It’s
been more like, ‘What’s
your ambition?’ and bigger
issues like that. It’s kind of
interesting that we grew up
very differently. We talked
about that a lot. My parents
are still together after like
50 years or something, and
they’re very supportive. I
think Patience’s story is the
exact opposite.
“I think Patience is more
comfortable than me at this
point. I’m still a little on the
anxious side, and she’s not,
as far as I can tell. It’s hard
to tell if there’s chemistry
between us. As for the level
of physical attraction, is
there anything higher than a
ten? The perfect ending to
this night would a fire on the
beach. Fade to black.”
She says…
“I’m feeling relieved now
that all of the buildup is over.
Rob seems like a nice guy,
but so far he just seems very
uncomfortable—not a lot
of eye contact, like he’s just
not very relaxed. I guess I
thought he was going to be
more outgoing, because he
was so forward with things
in the letter, but he doesn’t
seem as open now that I’m
actually here. The email was
probably one of the most
romantic things that has
ever happened to me,
but then again, I haven’t
had that many good
experiences with guys.
“I do like Rob’s enthusiasm
about this date. Apparently,
he told the entire world
about it. He told his mother
and his brothers, and that’s
adorable. I’m completely
opposite. I told nobody.
“I can’t tell a lie to save my
life—the level of physical
attraction could be a seven,
but it’s probably closer to a
five. From what I can tell so
far, I think we could be really
good friends, nothing more
than that. How would I like
the date to end? If that
guy (Patience points at a
long-haired blonde guy
walking by) was my date…
well, let’s just say he’s more
my type.”
FINALLY…
PacificSD leaves Rob and
Patience alone to enjoy (or
not) the rest of their evening.

After match…
PacificSD calls Patience and Rob a few days after the date to see what we
missed. Here’s what they said:
He says…
“Overall it went really well. We stayed at Clay’s and talked for a long time,
until 11 o’clock. The food was phenomenal. We had eel sushi as an appetizer.
After that, I had the duck, and I think Patience had the lobster ravioli,
but I’m not sure. It was all very good, and I loved the atmosphere.
“We were both pretty anxious and a little bit nervous with the cameras
going off and people assessing us. I wouldn’t say that the connection between
us got better as the night went on, but it was good all around. She’s
real easy to talk to. Actually, Patience’s most appealing quality was that she
put me at ease. It could be the start of a good friendship at the very least.
“By the time we were done chatting, it was pretty late, so that was it. There
was a hug and a phone number exchange, and then we just went our separate
ways. I wouldn’t have imagined that we’d just talk and that would be
it. I wish we could have gone out and done something else afterwards, like
another element of the date. Anything.
“My expectations were just to have fun. In that regard, mission accomplished.
There was no diving board to jump into a romantic situation, but
that’s probably okay. That’s not usually how I operate, anyway. If there was
to be any kind of romantic future, to have any success in the long run, it
wouldn’t start out in a flurry. I’m still thrilled that I signed up for this, but my
friends are already giving me a whole bunch of grief.”
She says…
“It went fine; Rob’s a nice guy. The view at Clay’s was beautiful and the
food was amazing, but we didn’t stay long. We left at about 11 o’clock.
And... hmm. I don’t know. It wasn’t like... I can’t even... there was no connection.
We just didn’t have that much in common. Rob’s good looking,
but that instant chemistry just wasn’t there.
“Rob seemed pretty uncomfortable and nervous the whole time. Therefore,
he drank alcohol. I didn’t. He seemed at a loss for words, so I sort of
held the conversation a lot, which is fine. I wish he was a little more fun,
though. He was funny here and there, but he didn’t speak very much.
It could have been his nervousness, but it was very tense. We didn’t do
anything after Clay’s. Rob asked if I wanted to walk on the beach or walk
around La Jolla, but I said, “Let’s just call it a night.” We exchanged phone
numbers and said goodnight. It was very sweet.
“Since then, we’ve texted back and forth, and we talked the other night
on the phone. I’ve learned something about Rob: he is far better at writing
to express himself than he is at talking to express himself. He sent me a
lengthy email yesterday about his feelings and what he’s thinking. It was
brilliant the way he wrote it all, but when we talk on the phone, it seems
more forced and uncomfortable. It seems like I could have chemistry with
the guy in those emails and text messages, but when we talk, I’m like,
‘Where’d he go?’”
CONCLUSION…
Before the date, Rob had been confident, describing himself as “impulsive”
and “assertive.” In contrast, Patience had expressed anxiety, saying,
“When I sit down is when I start to get nervous.” In the end, however, their
roles had reversed—Patience had become more confident, while Rob had
transformed into the nervous one. The official military description for Rob’s
contribution to this phenomenon: Crash and Burn.
Dr. Rob is an officer and absolutely a gentleman. Patience is a hopeless
romantic. Unfortunately for both, their fantasies were only partially realized.
She fell in love with words, he fell in love with a picture, and both proved
that you can’t judge a book, let alone a magazine, by its cover.
For love and glory, email setmeup@pacificsandiego.com

THINK STYLE
1. The waves are lapping up against your home…
in La Mesa.
2. Ice costs more than gas, even at Chevron.
3. You can’t drink at the beach. (Actually,
that’s the apocalypse, not global warming.)
4. Cacti are wilting and ice plant is melting.
5. Sun of a Bitch, Al Gore’s sequel to
An Inconvenient Truth, rakes in more
dough than Sex and the City.
6. Local marijuana dispensaries catch fire, and
half the city gets a contact high. Authorities
suspect arson but quickly lose interest
and go buy Pop Tarts.
You know global warming
is finally here when…
7. Pat Robertson says that same-sex marriage
sparked global warming, changing his previous
stance that it would cause hell to freeze over.
8. Antarctica has melted to the size of an ice cube.
Even iceberg lettuce is shrinking.
9. Dubya finally concedes that global warming is
actually happening. Acting on questionable
intelligence, he attacks Switzerland, whose
WMD turn out to be white mountain deer.
10. Fire and brimstone fall from the sky.
Mel Gibson blames the Jews.
