First Time Birching
Met my friend Lisa and most of her family for my very first visit to the Birch Aquarium at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in La Jolla. I kept hearing how good it was but that it was rather small. While it may have been more diminutive than other aquariums I’d been to I was …

This Was A Good Year For Blimp Flyovers
Had yet another blimp fly over our house today. At least this time it was a different one. It was either larger or lower than the Met Life blimp because it filled a lot more of the sky. Literally heard coming from a mile away.

Visiting A Ruby with A Lisa
Met my terrific friend Lisa at Ruby’s in Mission Valley this morning for breakfast. I ordered my two-day allotment of calories in one meal: the Cinnamon French Toast Combo. Delicious meal but I felt full the entire rest of the day. And it was worth totally it.

Christmas Card 2011
After a full day of sitting in front of my computer, I finally finished my Christmas card design for this year and ordered them from Costco. Love that I can pick them up already tomorrow, after my long-awaited breakfast with visiting Lisa.

Sadie’s Little Prick
Had to go over to the neighbor’s house this evening to feed their dog, Sadie, and give her an insulin injection for her canine diabetes. The frightening photo is misleading because she was a real trooper and never complained. I stayed with her for a while to make sure everything was ok, and she loved …

Tapias’ Christmas Cookies
Received my annual allotment of home-made Christmas cookies from the Tapias. Each year they outdo themselves with quality, style and creativity and this year they didn’t disappoint. Their cookies are far better than most bakeries. I almost feel bad for eating them. Almost.

Birthday Movie and Lunch Wish Granted
Enjoyed a great day with my incredible friends Sylvia and Rodrigo, who took me not only to see “Sherlock Holmes: A Games of Shadows” (which I was dying to see) but also to lunch at In-N-Out (which I was dying to eat). I seem to be doing a lot of dying lately. The movie was …

Brenda, One Day Later
Had a short but good video chat with Brenda who returned home to Austin yesterday morning. Weird to imagine that I saw her at the airport just yesterday and tonight we’re video chatting from three states away. I’m grateful that we can at least keep in touch regularly this way. (Reason I’m on the phone …

Two Very Different Sky Shots
Took only two photos today. Both of the sky. Couldn’t be any more opposite from each other. One man-made, the other 100% natural. One without color, the other aflame with hues. One moving west to east, the other in the opposite direction. One without any landscape, the other with hills. One at the brightest point …

Post-Birthday Dinner Party
Had my post-birthday family dinner this evening. My mom had made one of my all-time favorites: wienerschnitzel with mashed potatoes and red cabbage. My mom had also made some really good Hungarian strawberry and walnut pastry the day before for dessert. My niece Kimi brought over a large, chocolate Mickey Mouse cake that she baked …

Natural History Museum In One Hour
After leaving the Zoo I thought it would be fun to make a quick visit to the Natural History Museum in Balboa Park, next door to the Zoo. Walking first through Spanish Village, I stopped at The Village Grill for a spot of lunch. Had my regular tuna melt combo with chips and a drink. …

San Diego Zoo In One Hour
After dropping Brenda off at the airport I decided to make a quick trip to San Diego Zoo. Knew it would be a brief trip so I focused on getting some Christmas decorations and just some of the animals. Started with taking the Skyfari up to the back of the zoo and walked back toward …

Homeward Bound
Took my friend Brenda to the airport this morning for her return trip back home to Austin. Was impressed with how many Christmas decorations the airport had put up and how non-crowded it was. Got me a coffee from Starbucks, sat down and waited until her plane took off so I could get that one last shot …

Birthday Wishes Galore
Came home from my birthday trip to Disneyland to find my mailbox chock full of Facebook messages announcing Happy Birthday wishes from many of my real-life and online-only friends. It was enough to fill my onboard memory with digital glee.
