I've thought many times of replacing Lee's briefcase with a newer and nicer model and went to www.briefcase.com to shop. It seems this is more of an attache than a briefcase and I couldn't decide. It does seem a shame to get rid of the archeological dig of stickers that make up the sides - stickers from places like Germany, Santa Cruz and NASA. How do you top that?

Race Season

It's horse racing season in San Diego and that means the blue and gold colors are flying everywhere. Interesting that this flag says Solana Beach - it should say Del Mar.

Hey! It's the Arnold Palmer game!

Really? The Arnold Palmer game?
Lee had it as a kid and now also as an adult. A consignment store discovery and he was practically jumping up and down to get home and unwrap it's original packaging. The Arnold Palmer game consists of a a tiny gray haired Arnold Palmer at the end of a pole with a trigger. Pull the trigger and Arnie swings. He comes with a few essential clubs, including a driver and a putter, but no caddy or cart. Lee batted a few balls under the sofa and a few more at Darby. Wait until Will comes home and sees the Arnold Palmer game! I see hours of golfing fun.

Here we are in Carlsbad!

Who knew there was a PF Chang in Carlsbad? Lee and I battled traffic to UTC, valet parked to save time, and proceded to search for Meryle-who was, in fact, at the Carlsbad restaurant. After a series of humorous emails and texts, we retrieved our car from it's 4 minute valet prison, and made our way to the correct restaurant - and only an hour late! Happy Birthday Meryle!

A Favorite Place

South Cardiff Beach is spacious, quiet, and relatively empty most of the time - just the way I like it! Too bad the water is 61 degrees!

New Year, New Class

It's day 3 and everything is clean and still in it's proper place - I wonder how long it will last?

Surfing Lesson

Malibu Barbie gives little sister, Skipper, a surf lesson. Late in the afternoon, the waves were small but very powerful and knocked Skipper around quite a bit. She was a trooper and got back up again and again. Do you think Moondoggie met them for shakes after?
