Walked about two miles on a trail in South Bay with Sylvia, Rodrigo and the doggies. This trail was just south of the 54 and just north of the KOA campgrounds. Passed some colorfully tagged freeway support columns. Walked towards Plaza Bonita and back. ( p i c s )

House Of VS Day Five: Scales, Fur And An Interloper
Mr. Fisher, Theo, Gordon and a welcome intruder whom I call Halle because she’s brown, pretty and played Catwoman. Eight eyes, four tails, twelve paws, four fins and one human observer ironically with no fins, tails or paws.

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

Walk Along Coronado Homes
Went for a three-mile evening walk with the Tapias in Coronado. First we walked along the shoreline but then we moved into the residential areas to check out some of the expensive, beautiful homes. ( p i c s )

X-Men: First Class
Went to see X-Men: First Class with the Tapias. Overall a pretty good and entertaining movie but for me there were a few moments that seemed to drag on a bit. The evolution of, and relationship between, the Professor Xavier and Derek (Magneto) characters I thought was handled very well. Loved the two surprise cameos …

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.

VidChat With Brenda
Enjoyed a nice evening video chat with Brenda. First one since I came back from visiting her in Austin. Thank you Google for letting me talk to and see her for free from three states away.

Memorial Day Walk With The Tapias
After dinner and games, we drove to Rice Canyon in east Chula Vista to go on a three+ mile walk through the canyon and some neighborhoods. Perfect outdoor walking day. Great way to burn off some of those calories we put on from lunch. (There are photos to prove we did this.)

Memorial Day Barbecue And Games
Had a great barbecue lunch with the Tapias for Memorial Day (steaks (which even Lilo and Stitch got to try for the very first time), corn on the cob, baked beans, roasted zucchini and garlic bread) which we then followed by playing Mastermind, Boggle and the card game Kings in the Corner. We also had …

Ron’s Final Visit In May
My high school buddy Ron flew into town this afternoon. Picked him up from his hotel and took him to Coronado for dinner at Miguel’s Cocina. Then we toured the Hotel Del Coronado (his first time there) including the lower level shops and walked the sidewalk along the beach (watching two F-18s come in for landings), went …
