Had a really nice dinner with my visiting friend, Barbara, and my mom in Old Town this evening. We ate at the Alamo Mexican Café and were serenaded by an Asian playing the accordion across the street.

Tour Guiding At SeaWorld Again
Spent the entire day out at SeaWorld San Diego as tour guide for my visiting high school classmate, Barbara. Even though it was a pretty crowded day we still managed to hit almost all the shows and exhibits. Ended our day at the new Shamu show called One Ocean and, after sitting behind Julie Scardina …

Night Two Of Cat-Keeping
Second of six days/five nights of cat-sitting for the neighbors. Only so many ways to shoot a cat. With a camera, that is.

Evening In Old Town With A Fellow Saint
Had a very pleasant walk in Old Town with Barbara this evening after she drove down from L.A. for our SeaWorld visit tomorrow morning. Spent most of our time visiting graves in the cemetery.

Kitty Care
First of six days/five nights of cat-sitting for the neighbors. Some day I hope to be able to tell them apart. The cats, not the neighbors.

SeaWorld With Disney
Spent a fun day being tour guide at SeaWorld San Diego to three of my hardcore Disney friends, Denise, Jeff and Disney sculptor, Bruce. Saw more shows and exhibits than I have in a long time. Felt good being touristy again. One mega suckiness: really disappointed that Mama Stella’s took the Eggplant Parmesan off the …

Walkies With Rodrigo
Went on an evening walk along Mission Bay starting from Rose Marie Starns South Shores Park with Rodrigo and the doggies while Sylvia was out of town. Followed that up with a long-overdue visit to a nearby Starbucks. Why do none of the barristas at any Starbucks I go to know about the iPhone apps picks …

After an all-too-brief walk along Spanish Landing with the Tapias, and a quick pick-up order from Phil’s BBQ, I re-met the Tapias, this time with Rodrigo’s sister Lorena along for the ride after being picked up from the airport, at Rose Marie Starns Park and Boat Ramp in Mission Bay for a breezy dinner of …

Nighttime Zoo With The Holdens
Finished off my day by visiting the San Diego Zoo‘s Nighttime Zoo China Celebration and going to see Nicky, the pregnant giraffe who is ready to deliver any day now ( I swear I saw her pushing), and then meeting up with the entire Holden family. Walked through the newly opened Panda Trek with a Red Panda, Takins …

Photowalk With Heather
Had a really good, silly and sarcastic time with Heather today, walking around taking pictures in Old Town San Diego and having a great Mexican lunch at Café Coyote. Even ran into another friend of mine, Terry, who I occasionally work with. Heather and I took pictures of anything that caught our eye and looked interesting, although I’m pretty …

Great Eyetalian Food
Had an excellent and filling dinner tonight at The Old Spaghetti Factory in downtown San Diego with the Tapias, the Holdens and John and Jackie, who treated us as a thank-you for helping with their wedding reception. There was some kind of hip-hop “music” party next door at the Hard Rock Café that drew a …

Pizza And A Fish
Dinner and a movie. Had delicious, home-made pizza at the Tapias while watching the classic “A Fish Called Wanda.” Cleese and Palin are comic treasures.
