On the other head... 
| | Yesterday (which still feels like today because I haven't gone to bed yet) was the first I've spent in some time without even touching a computer. My sister and brother in law and I took a nice long walk in the morning. We started by cutting through Cold Sring School, then up Cold Spring Road past Lotusland and into Westmont College. I had no idea we had such a beautiful campus right in the neighborhood. Then we went to a flea market at the Carpinteria museum, where Jeffrey bought a bag of balloons colored like grenades to encourage filling them with water for mischievous purposes. Then we drove to our little apartment by the beach (which we leased while we looked for a house — the lease runs out next month), where Jeffrey and I filled his balloon grenades with water and made a mess of the driveway below. |
| | After that we walked over to the West Beach wading pool, where Jeffrey went nuts in the water until the place closed at five. Then we went home, changed and drove up to Cold Spring Tavern, which is just over the top of the San Marcos Pass, on the old stagecoach road (in fact, it's an old stagecoach stop, complete with all the original buildings). After hanging out there for awhile, we went back down to Harry's (which deserves a Web site but seems to lack one) for drinks before dinner at Aja (which also lacks one, but shows up in places like this one). Then we came back here and crashed. Except for me. I had to stay up, watch the calendar flip, and blog a bit. Now I'm going to bed too. |
O shit
| | It's my birthday. Right..... now. |
| | Arg. The time-server-controlled computer clock just flipped to 12:00am. That's Pacific time. Since I was born three hours east of here, I guess I've been 54 for half the night already. But I was born at 10-something AM (in Jersey City, NJ, to which I have not returned since), so if I wanna get real technial about it, I've got a few hours of 53 left in me. Good. I feel younger already. |
