Went to Burlington Coat Factory with my mom so she could pick up some socks that she unfortunately ended up never finding. I also struck out with picking up a new pair of shorts (cuz it’s December). So to lick our consumer wounds we went next door to Starbucks and drank some delicious coffees and …

Back again with the neighbors’ cats. Last night was my first of three overnights. Today was my first full day of feline pampering, with the Old Town visit to break up my day. Took a bunch of shots of the neighbors’ Christmas decoration since the cat pictures are all starting to look the same. ( …

Some old friends of my mom’s were in town visiting family and they stopped by to say hi to my mom and me. The wife, Judy, worked with my mom many years ago in Zaragoza, Spain in civil service. We took them down to Old Town for lunch where we joined my sister, who surprised …

Watched Felicia Day’s self-shot, -edited and -presented travel video of her winter trip to Belize. This is how all people should show their trip videos. Be funny, interesting, with lots of quick cuts and seem genuinely interested. No lingering. Doesn’t hurt to be adorable.

Out of the blue my friends Sylvia and Rodrigo called me today and told me they were going to take their dogs, Lilo and Stitch, walking up at Downtown Disney, only about an hour away. They wanted to know if I would like to go with them and after thinking about it for half a …

My sister along with my older brother and niece (who brought their three black cats) came over this evening for a much improved Christmas dinner over what didn’t happen yesterday. After a dinner of tasty túrós csusza that my mom made we watched a DVD of when my niece and nephew were really young. While …

My squirrelly friend, Rocky, rejoined me today for another round of mutual weeding in our backyard. Today I was more prepared and this time had my trusty camera with me. This time he came even closer than yesterday, only about four feet away. I think he may have been jealous of the time I spent …

Decided when I woke up this morning that for Christmas I would take my mom walking around the San Diego Zoo for a couple hours. It got her out of the house, out amongst others of her own kind, and we enjoyed some Christmas decorations while having hot drinks. We got our picture taken with …

While I am grateful that I still have my immediate family around, I have to say that tonight’s Christmas Eve dinner was one of the most disappointing, dare I say suckiest, I can ever remember. For different reasons various family members had other obligations/plans where only my mom, older brother and myself were left to …

In the spirit of the season, I scanned a bunch of slides today from our family visit to Santa’s Village back in 1963 and posted them on a Facebook page devoted to its history. I can see myself obviously having a ton of fun at such an exciting and memorable place for a young child. …

I was sitting on the grass in our backyard on this beautiful, sunny San Diego late December day picking weeds from around some of our milkweed plants when I was unexpectedly joined by a brave little squirrel who was hungry for some of the weeds we have growing in the grass. He does us a …

After passing a homeless, guitar-playing Santa on a street corner, I had an intimate get together with some of my oldest friends for a Mary-organized belated birthday lunch at Phil’s BBQ in Point Loma. We even got to watch ourselves in line on Phil’s webcam, courtesy of Rodrigo’s Droid. I tried something new this time, …

Went on my annual drive-thru passed the decorated houses of Christmas Circle in Chula Vista last night with the my friends Sylvia, Rodrigo and their dogs, Lilo and Stitch. While it may have been slightly less festive than previous years (due, I’m sure, to the economy), it was still very enjoyable to see. Even added …
