After a terrific earlier than expected breakfast, I started helping the Tapias finish getting ready for a 1:00 4th of July pool party with some friends’ families visiting from Ireland and New Jersey. About thirty people were there and the party didn’t stop until well after a 9pm fireworks show. We got pretty tired from …

Wedded And Recepted
Went to a wedding and reception this evening at the Marina Village Conference Center across from SeaWorld for a couple I had never met before. Luckily I went with two friends and knew the bride’s two sisters. Also knew a few of the other people. The food was fairly decent and there was an open …

This Day In My History
In 2004 I watched my nephew Alex play soccer and score his team’s first goal during World Cup Day of his UK Soccer Camp in Los Alamos, New Mexico. His team was Brazil. In 2005, my friend Lannie and I met and hung out with the artist Shag at an event for him at the …

Breakfast With The Ms. Csanadis
Had a really enjoyable breakfast this morning with my mom, my sister and my niece. I was there to represent the testosterone camp. I had some wonderfully delicious Swedish Crepes with lingonberries.

Zoo Day With Kimi (Post #800!)
Spent a few fun-filled hours at the world famous San Diego Zoo today with my favorite niece, Kimi. Took bunches of photos of her with various animals (even petting a few) and had a really awful lunch. We both strongly felt like we were going to see somebody famous there and we amazingly ended up …

Father’s Day Dinner
Our San Diego family got together and had a “surprise” Father’s Day dinner for my brother Ozzie. The surprise part didn’t turn out, but the dinner was excellent.

The Ballad Of John And Jackie
Went over to Mary’s house for a delayed, catered post-wedding party for her mom and new husband after they recently returned from a honeymoon in eastern Europe. Average age of guests: 70ish. Food was great. Sylvia was in charge of the desserts and her perfectionism showed.

A Pretty Fair Day
Went to the San Diego County Fair with Mary and her daughter Diana. Spent a bunch of time with different farm animals, enjoyed some pretty decent music, ate some great food, walked by a multitude of product barkers and checked out some really amazing exhibited photography. ( p i c s )

Zoo Day With Mary
Walked around and had lunch at the San Diego Zoo with Mary and her daughter Diana. Spent the first hour by myself listening to my iPod and taking pictures of all the two-week old and one three-day old flamingo chicks. ( p i c s )

Half A Family Dinner
Had dinner with my mom, brother, nephew and his girlfriend at my older brother’s house. Was nice. Only got pictures of the food and pets, though. Didn’t feel that the humans were in the right mood.

Border Outlets
Drove with the Tapias down to the Las Americas Premium Outlets by the Mexico border. Stopped at a couple of shoe stores, the Disney Store to talk to an old friend and finally at Starbucks. Then picked up some great, cheap Mexican food at Colima’s to eat while we watched “The Empire Strikes Back.” Just …

Lunch Visit
My mom brought down some food she made and we had lunch in the backyard where I am house-sitting. Also including a couple more random shots of Gordon.

Walk Along Old SeaWorld Drive
The Tapias picked me up so we could go walking along Old SeaWorld Drive and out to the Marina jetty. By far the weirdest, if not creepiest, moment was toward the end of the jetty when we walked passed at least thirty feral cats of all colors, all staring at us and not making a …

Sweetwater Walk
Went walking with the Tapias from Pepper Park in National City, east along the Sweetwater River adjacent to Hwy 54 and then back again for a three mile journey. Ended up going to In-N-Out afterwards to replace the calories we burned. Gotta love the Double-Double, animal style.

Foodspotting Surge
Finally finished adding all the meal photos from my recent trip to Arizona, New Mexico and Texas as well as other dinners of late to my Foodspotting website and I surged up to 88 spottings. I will probably die with food in my mouth.
