We got back from San Diego in mostly one piece. We hit quite a few spots; Sea World on Wednesday, the Zoo on Thursday, and Doni and I took a Harbor tour on Friday. I would recommend NOT attending Sea World and/or the Zoo with anyone under the age of 35. Both were very cool, but my decrepit old bones are too broken down to put up with all that walking. At a minimum, I dissolved all the cartilage in my knees. I should have rented a scooter or something. We got a generous dose of evening entertainment mixed in too… I’m pretty satisfied that I have now “seen San Diego.” I’m also satisfied that I have traveled enough for a while; I think I’m gonna lay off the vacation for a few months.
In other shocking news, we are once again “dog people.” We still have Kane of course, but now we have a real pet to go along with him. (Heh heh. I’ll get hit for that one.) More details to follow as they develop; We just got him yesterday and are still getting acquainted. So far we are getting along like peas and carrots. The only “incident” of note is that my first attempt at kennelling him failed miserably. It was recommended that he stay in a crate any time we’re not home, so we went and bought a nice wire crate, and sure enough he went right in it with no complaints. Alas, when we got back home he was loose in the basement, tail wagging happily as he polished off the last of Kane’s $$$ prescription cat food. Oh well, no harm. I “think” I found an assembly flaw in the crate, so we’ll see how he’s doing when I go check on him this afternoon. I’m working on a web-cam so I can keep an eye on him from work. A name is still in the works; He goes by a few different names, both of which are under consideration, or we might just pick something new. Here’s a couple of pics:
