More Than A Porpoise, More Than A Man, A Manimal

I want a Porpoise who will laugh for no one else

Hello, it's been awhile. Blogger has been down for a day so I havn't been able to post, and I have been really sick for the past 4 days, so I have not been in a real bloggin mood. The big news is that Tracey and I found a townhouse that we are in the process of buying. We are so excited and stoked. I call it a townhouse because it's two stories and seems more like a home (like the townhouse we lived in in Springfield) and not a condo which is more like an apartment. Anyway, this place has everything we wanted and more! Here is a quick list of the great features: Two stories, 1 car garage, all appliances included (fridge, stove, dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer), vaulted ceilings and a sky light, a small porch off the top floor, a full deck off the ground floor that includes a private jacuzzi!, a wine rack, fire place and many other cool things. We love this place. Today we have the home inspection of the place and as long as that goes well, we will be in escrow for a month, then the place will be ours. We are very happy about this and can't wait to move in. This new place is less than a mile from the beach and is actually in the Ocean Beach zip code, so we now live in OB intead of Point Loma, so that's cool. We live less than a mile from the ocean, that's definitely cool. We will take some pictures today with our digital camera and try to post them.

All last week we had Ryan and Michele here and we had good fun, it was sad to see them go. It always seems like they just live with us normally, like they should year round, so it's sad when they leave. Michele was pretty pregnant and I got to hear Hannah's heart beat, very neat. Ryan and I were able to get to Hemingway's twice, so that was a bonus. On Saturday we went surfing up in La Jolla. And when I say we, I mean Ryan and I. Ryan actually charged out there without a wetsuit and had a goodtime. I'm proud of him for going for it. I on the other hand got worked over big time. I was out there for about 20 minutes, not having much luck, when 3 4-5 footers crashed on me in a row and wiped me out. I swallowed a ton of sea water (which probobly helped me get sick) and drained all my energy, so I paddled back in to shore defeated and humbled once again by the ocean.

Tracey leaves Saturday for Cincinatti and I will be sad. She will be gone for two weeks. I joined a fitness club through my work called 24 hour Fitness, so I'll use a lot of the time when Tracey is gone to start getting pumped up and huge. I'm glad Tracey gets to spend all that time with her family, but I will miss her. Hey Justin, Brundage said he is going to try to come out August 19-22, so talk to him and see what you can do. Those dates are in the middle of that week, so not sure how that would work. Did you rent Narc yet? I want to see what you think of it. I'll probably also rent Dark Blue when Tracey's gone. Sorry softball sucks. I wonder how Mary and Thick are doing? The other day Tracey and I watched Billy Maddison on tv, and that scene where Billy calls Steve Bushemi and apologizes, and after they hang up, Bushemi crosses out Billy's name from a list of people to kill, then he puts lipstick on and this amazing song comes on, kinda sounds like a 50's song, but I've always wanted to know what that song was, so the other day I spent two hours looking for it online and finally got a breakthrough, it was an ELO song called Telephone Lines, so I downloaded it from Kazaa and have been overplaying it a lot, so good, ear candy. Just thought I would share that. I'll maybe post again tonight and let you all know how the home inspection went.
