Today I tasked myself with taking macro shots of everyday items around the house or garage that showed numbers. I was amazed at how many examples I found. There were even things that were similar enough to each other that I felt I could ignore.

Starbucks Run
Went on a quick Starbucks run with Rodrigo to get my tall decaf caramel macchiato with extra caramel and to pick up this week’s iTunes song pick of the week as well as the app of the week. They had no app cards and the song, “Bittersweet Melodies” by Feist, turned out to be a …

Short Video Chat A La Brenda
Noticed my friend Brenda was available on gmail, took a chance on video chat calling her and it paid off with a brief but enjoyable call where we could see each other from 1,300 miles away. The neck brace was just to help her posture while on the computer. Made me sit up straighter.

At Heather’s Day Six: Textures
Today’s self-appointed assignment was to capture textures, inside and out, natural and man-made, all macro. I’ve already forgotten what a couple of them were of.

Bulk Shopping With Sylvia
Went to Costco with Sylvia and enjoyed me some garlic and artichoke as well as avocado and something else flavored hummus on pita chips, a California sushi roll with imitation crab and some Hormel Old Smokehouse thick sliced bacon. Oh, and they already had Christmas decorations for sale.

Dinner And A Show
Had some great Chinese food (Orange Chicken and Coconut Shrimp) from China One in Chula Vista while watching Red, a movie I had been wanting to see for a long time. I hate to admit that I really enjoyed a movie where many people were killed, some quite violently.

Visiting José At Home
Went over to José’s house to visit him after he returned home from his hospital stay for surgery. He is making an incredible post-op recovery and his stapled incision is healing up really well.

Tacos And Donuts
After our evening walk the Tapias and I went to Los Panchos in Chula Vista for an incredibly delicious Mexican dinner, followed by some fantastic donuts conveniently located next door to Los Panchos. We had to replace the calories we had burned with the earlier walk. It’s simple biology.

Evening Walk Along Mission Bay
Went on a three mile walk this evening at Rose Starns Park just south of SeaWorld with the four Tapias. It was a beautiful San Diego dusk and getting out into ocean air and the setting sun felt very refreshing. ( w a l k i n g p i c s )

At Heather’s Day One: Friends Of Lauren
My first full day of house-sitting for the VS family. Today, in between podcasts, meals, processing photo and an evening walk, I focused my camera on Lauren’s little friends. They all seem like a pretty happy bunch.

You Know You’re Not In Nebraska When…
I went to pick up a gallon of milk from Albertson’s in Chula Vista for my weeklong stay at Heather’s and had trouble finding parking because they had cordoned off the main center parking aisle to set up tents and a dancing area for these Hispanic youths dressed in authentic Mexican folk dance costumes. It …
