After completing the Las Americas shopping excursion with Sylvia, we indulged in some fantastic Mexican food from Los Panchos in Chula Vista with Rodrigo. I had the carnitas “street” tacos which are always so amazingly good. After lunch I lent Rodrigo a hand with pressure cleaning his pool’s pump filter. My instrumental job was to push …

Went back to the Las AmericasPremium Outlets in San Ysidro (just a stone’s throw over the border fence from Tijuana) with Sylvia to pick up some items at the Disney Store that we put on hold a couple of days earlier. This time we got to talk to our friend Sandra, who is the store’s …

Without getting into the traumatic aviary events of this morning involving Kevin and Olive, I did have some quality bonding time with both Gordon and Theo. I tired to explain to them why I was leaving after the few days of our fun-filled rabble rousing. I also had some fun with Lauren’s letters. Messing with things …

Drove with Sylvia all the way the down I-5 to the very last U.S. exit before hitting the Mexican border to accompany her on a shopping trip to both the San Ysidro Village shopping center as well as the much more attractive Las Americas Premium Outlets. At San Ysidro Village we went into Marshalls, Anna’s Linens and Ross …

A group of my friends and I met at Pat & Oscar’s at Plaza Bonita in National City to celebrate our friend Mary’s birthday with a socially-fun and consumably-delicious dinner. In attendance were Mary and her husband Dave with their daughter, along with Sylvia and Rodrigo, Chip and Bethany with their two children, and Stacy. …

I walked the hills and dales, crosswalks and sidewalks (using the very same legs I was born with, just scaled up a bit and a tad more hairy) from Heather’s house, where I am house/animal-sitting, all the way over to Sylvia and Rodrigo’s home. Fortunately for me and my legs both families are located in the same …

For my Valentine’s Day lunch I enjoyed some delicious Sylvia-made chicken enchiladas with her and Rodrigo. Stopped by her parents’ house to drop off some of that very same enchilada goodness and then it was right back to the Tapias’ house for some required Valentine sweetness, again compliments of Sylvia’s amazing baking abilities. We delighted …

So the second half of my day went like this: got picked up by my friends Sylvia, Lilo and Stitch and we drove to Colima’s (where we were blocked and cruelly tempted by a gigantic Entenmann’s truck) to exchange US currency for some always-great Mexican food which we quickly and efficiently devoured at her house with …

After being picked up by the Tapias, we made a quick stop at Costco for weenie burps and gas. (Insert your own personal understanding of that sentence here.) Drove south past San Diego Bay, and just north of downtown we saw a pirate ship fire its cannon in mock battle. After another stop, this time …

A little, yellow Finch chick banged itself into our living room window this morning and then flopped down onto the patio. It seemed a bit stunned but otherwise none the worse for its mishap. After a few minutes of sitting long enough for me to get some photos, it flew first onto our barbecue and …
