Had a great time catching up with old friends: swimming, eating, playing games, eating again, playing more games, telling ghost stories and finally roasting marshmallows over a fire pit. Wonderful way to spend a Saturday. ( p i c s )

Zoo Day With Niece And Nephew
Had a good day as tour guide for my nephew, Stephen, his girlfriend, Jeri, and my niece, Kimi, at the San Diego Zoo. While quite a few animals were asleep or hiding, we still got to see most of the Zoo and had a pretty good lunch there as well. ( p i c s …

Sandwiched For Lunch Between Two Beauties
Had a great barbecue lunch at Phil’s BBQ in San Diego with my two great friends, Sylvia and Lannie. Tried the Baby Beef Rib with two onion rings, french fries and cole slaw. The meal was really good but the dish could have used a second rib.

Din-Din At Oz’s
On the way home from Comic Con we stopped at my brother’s house for dinner. Had fun talking with everyone but didn’t stay too late since I was exhausted.

Family Dinner, Care Of Stephen & Jeri
Had a fun family dinner over at my brother Ozzie’s house. The entire meal was prepared by my nephew Stephen and his girlfriend Jeri. We had hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries, potato salad, beans and a salad. Some had root beer floats for dessert. Enzo was crazy as ever.

New Neighbor Welcoming Party
Went with my mom to a neighbor friend’s house for a party welcoming some new neighbors to the other end of our street. Interesting mix of young kids, adults, me and then a bunch of older folks. Topics of conversation were all over the place. Got to finally meet Jane’s new poodle Isabella.

Aqui Es Texcoco Means What Exactly?
Had a very unusual-tasting dinner of lamb at Aqui es Texcoco with the Tapias. EVERYTHING on the menu (except one quail dish and a quesadilla) had lamb. It didn’t taste bad, but it was very different. We almost didn’t stay when we found out it was just lamb but the waiter brought us two complimentary …

Old Town And Young Friends
Had a really nice time walking around taking pictures in Old Town today. Then my day got even better after meeting up for lunch with Heather and her daughter plus Lannie with her son at Café Coyote. After lunch I went over to see the McCoy House Museum for the first time. Talked for about …

Unbaked Cheesecake
My mom made a strawberry cheesecake from a recipe she got from my cousin in Hungary. There is no baking and it uses vanilla wafer cookies. If it’s good it’ll end up on my recipe blog. (You have a recipe blog? Why, yes I do. Thanks for asking. Will link to it soon.)

Walking Embarcadero With Fireworks
After enjoying a really good Papa John’s pizza I had a great night walk with the Tapias along Seaport Village ending with watching some fantastic, close-up fireworks from the San Diego Symphony’s Summer Pops at the Embarcadero Marina Park North next to the Convention Center (home to Comic Con in two weeks).

Sucker Punched Again
While having a really good Papa John’s pizza, I watched Sucker Punch with Sylvia and Rodrigo, my second time, their first. I don’t think I’ve ever liked such a dark, depressing movie as much as this one. Still find the imagery and cinematography to be absolutely stunning.

Visiting Clawed, Feathered And Hairy Cousins And Relatives
Had a really good photo day at the San Diego Zoo with Mary and Diana. Got some fantastically lucky shots of Funani the Hippo and her recently born son Adhama. Also had the best meal ever at the Zoo at Albert’s Restaurant, contrasting with the worst the last time I visited. Ran into an old …
