Big Fat Friday Free For All

Good morning friends, how are you?  Just back yesterday from four days in California, leave tomorrow for a bit of a WESTPAC swing, returning Stateside a week from Sunday.  Will have the computer with me, so hope to keep you up to date on things during my trip.

Some thoughts from my trip to San Diego, just completed? And perhaps some other topics?

1. I've said it before, I'll say it again.  I wasted 15 months in that city, bitching about a broken heart and not enjoying myself.  It really is an amazing place to live.

2.  Redeye travel is fine with me, as I can generally sleep en route.  This is made more difficult however, when the completely full plane features a six foot two, 280 pound man who looked to be kin of Shrek sitting in the center seat next to you.  He spilled liberally over into my seat throughout the flight.  I can only hope my snoring was as offputting to him.

3.  Brother Tom is off to Italy, his first trip to my most favorite-est vacation spot.  Looking forward to hearing his views when he comes home.

4.  UVA/Pitt on Saturday night.  Big game.  Sorry to miss it.  UVA is going all out to try and bring fans back who have found other things to do with their time over the course of the past few years.  My tickets have already been sent to rabid fans, so I feel no shame.
