Bowling and Brawling
*snort* Sounds like a wonderful family venue, and a lovely place for ladies of San Diego to meet quality gentlemen. Sort of a cross between Chuck E. Cheese and an East Texas roadhouse. Verah nice. http://theescapepod.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/b…— January 30, 2010 8:34 p.m.

"Oooh, dang, I thought you were going to say you were the secret male lover of Brad Pitt, now there would be a story!!!" And a not altogether unexpected one, AFAIC. Brad's too pretty to really be straight. So is this guy. http://eagleionline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2… Bamembah him? Mr. January. It's cold in January, which could explain some things. Or at least one thing. I saw those mags too, Cuddle (a glimpse of the Reader's future, perhaps?) But the one that made me LOL was the one with Obama on the cover in a tux with a glass of champagne, and the headline about "Wild Parties in the White House." *eyeroll* Sure. He's got all kinds of time to party.— January 30, 2010 6:33 a.m.
Pink Floyd: the Wall
"Obviously, Jay, you are not taking the correct dosage of acid while taking in this flick." Or shrooms. Or salvia. Or weeeeeeeeeed. Hey, which Reader reader's house is this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlcPkG9vAXM (Refried, the only reason you're not a suspect is that you'd already gotten kicked out of the country by then.) :)— January 29, 2010 9:01 p.m.

Where do you take out-of-town guests?
Also, the view at Cabrillo can't be beat. Lots of educational stuff, too. http://www.nps.gov/cabr/index.htm Ya GOTTA get some Mexican food in Old Town: http://www.oldtownsandiegoguide.com/restaurants.h… And while you're there, watch the creation of blown glass: http://www.loweryshotglass.com/studio.shtml Okay, that's enough. There's a LOT to do in SD. What else? Lego Land? Never been. Live theater? Comedy clubs? What?— January 29, 2010 8:50 p.m.
Where do you take out-of-town guests?
Well, I don't live in SD anymore, but how about: http://www.palagems.com/mining.htm#minevisits Or: http://www.astro.caltech.edu/palomar/visiting.html Surfing lesson, maybe? http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&source=hp&oq=&u… Roller coaster ride? http://www.belmontpark.com/ A horsie ride on Imperial Beach or in Julian might be nice: http://www.totalescape.com/active/animals/horse/S… Or you can just watch them run: http://www.dmtc.com/ (July - Sept.) Predilection for pinnipeds? http://lajollafriendsoftheseals.org/tips.html And of course, you CAN see some at my favorite of SD's tourist traps (mostly for the Clydesdales & dolphin petting): http://www.seaworld.com/sandiego/default.aspx Ahhh, what the heck? It IS one of the best zoos in the world. http://sandiegozoo.com/ (But also one of the hilliest, and a bit exhausting.) A much easier day can be had at: http://www.sandiegozoo.org/park/ (which I've actually enjoyed a bit more.) And for shopping, there's no place more pleasant to stroll around than: http://www.seaportvillage.com/ Or if you're a bargain hunter... http://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlets/outlet.asp?… Which is right next to: http://www.theflowerfields.com/ (starting in March) Or if you're a SUPER bargain hunter: http://www.kobeyswap.com/ The Birch Aquarium DOES rock: http://birchaquarium.org/ And Balboa Park is probably my VERY favorite place in SD: http://balboapark.org/ Too many museums to mention, and always a number of interesting exhibits at any given time. http://www.sdnhm.org/exhibits/index.html http://sdmart.com/exhibition-picasso-miro-calder.… Got folks that have never been to an IMAX theater before? http://www.rhfleet.org/site/imax/index.cfm Gambling? http://sycuancasino.com/ http://viejas.com/ Got golfers? If you want to splurge, you could take them to one of the world's most famous courses: http://www.torreypines.com/course-info/torrey-pin… It's groovy to stroll the grounds & visit the underground shops of the Hotel Del: http://www.hoteldel.com/ Aaaand they've got golf over there, too: http://www.golfcoronado.com/ How about a walking tour downtown? http://www.frommers.com/destinations/sandiego/002… Nautical types (any old Navy farts in the family?) will probably like this tour, including the Maritime Museum. http://www.frommers.com/destinations/sandiego/002… Of course, the ferry's the cheapest way out onto the water: http://www.sdhe.com/san-diego-bay-ferry.html I've always wanted to do this tour, personally: http://www.sealtours.com/index.asp Another good first day tour in SD to get your bearings: http://www.trolleytours.com/san-diego/— January 29, 2010 8:46 p.m.
Body, Heal Thyself
"The first was the joint under the fingernail of my right middle finger." Geez, Pete, your salutin' finger? That's a major disability for you, isn't it? :)— January 28, 2010 5:33 p.m.
Body, Heal Thyself
Well, D.A.D. (I still love that), it may just be that some happy little blood clot that was plugging up a major blood vessel in your leg is now swimming around fancy free, looking for your heart. Get the tests. Can't hurt. What a bunch of wrecked old geezers we are. I had to call in to work a couple of days ago myself due to PAIN, which rhymes with RAIN, which makes it worse. :( Glad you're feeling better, though. :)— January 28, 2010 5:31 p.m.
Welcome another friend: Brad
Ooooohhhh, Braaaaaaaaaaaddd??? Olly Olly Outsenfree??? Donde esta, Mr. Fresh Meat? ;)— January 27, 2010 8:27 p.m.
