It’s that Christmas time of the year again; normally that means Mere and I board an airplane and head north for a snow-filled Christmas in Minnesota. This year was a little different though. We opted to stay here in San Diego and some of our family came out to visit. What a time we had…

Somewhere in SoCal
Festober or is it Oktival?
Or maybe we should just leave it as Oktoberfest since it has a better ring to it. We would be remiss, and yelled at, if we didn’t make a post about Dr. Joel S. Tilleson Esq. visiting last month. Boy what a time we had! It was great to see our old friend. We spent…
Monday Funday
So ever since I’ve been out here I’ve heard rumors of this place called Mt. Palomar. Supposedly it’s a great place to ride your motorcycle; so great in fact that on the weekends there are frequently groups of 50-100 motorcyclists riding up and down the mountain for hours at a time. Mt Palomar is kind…
Yellow beer is for wussies?
Mr John Fairall III graced us with his presence last weekend. Good times indeed. Too bad he doesn’t live closer so we could kick it more often. So apparently you do NOT drink yellow beer at The Tap Room in PB. I wonder if the bartender just grabbed any old glass behind the bar or…
May gray, June gloom…
That is how San Diegans describe the May and June weather in southern California. Phil and I aren’t quite sure what they are talking about. Although we did have to suffer through 3 days of “rain” (less than an inch accumulated) May and June thus far have been beautiful.
Memorial Day with Pickles
Double Peak and the Del Mar Dog Beach were the highlights of my weekend here in San Diego. Lucy was invited to both events as well. Her first trip to the dog beach was a success to say the least. Until today, her only water experience was me throwing her in the pool at the…
Spring fling
It seems that April passed in the blink of an eye and May is already right around the corner. For anyone that is wondering, we are still living in the wonderful extended stay and keeping our fingers crossed that we’ll find a house soon. Lucky for us, there is so much to see and do…
Trail update
In case you’re wondering what I’ve been up to while Phil is hard at work in Marine land, here’s a quick update. Most of my days are spent continuing my job search, but I try to get outside each day to take advantage of this glorious weather. So far I’ve done some shorter hikes on…
It’s not big but Lucy doesn’t mind…
So it’s been a few weeks and we’re still living in the wonderful Extended Stay in Oceanside. I checked into my new squadron, HMLA/T-303, a few weeks ago and it’s been busy, busy, busy ever since. They handed me a few thousand pages of user manuals for the new UH-1Y helicopter and I started to…
