Thank you Cleveland and Omar

I’m thinking about going back to Blue Magic.

For whatever reason, my knee (which has been in constant pain for 6 months due to tendonitis) decided to just stop hurting. It no longer hurts to walk, run or climb stairs.

Last night on the beach we played horse shoes, ate some bread and cheese until a dog ran over and grabbed our large chunk of gouda and ate it whole and kicked sand all over our bread, and watched a great sunset.

Since Tracey went back to work yesterday, and with Ry and M still here, she probably will not be able to give a proper full report of their Price is Right excursion for awhile, so I’ll give you the main details.They had a great adventure, but did not win any prizes or money. I’ll let Tracey fill in all the rest.

I was lying in bed the other night and this whole thought popped into my head. Pretty stupid I know, but I have nothing else to say, so I thought I would just share this.

What’s up with there being no flying cars yet? I’m sure there are some hybrids, but I’m talking mass produced flying cars for personal use! Think about it. With lots of advances in technology and inventions, such as cars, TVs, computers, electricity, cell phones, etc, they start out as new inventions, then, initially, only rich people can afford them. But eventually, improvements are made, productions costs lower, and the price starts dropping, so the general public can afford said invention. What about plasma TVs? A few years ago those things were like 15 grand, now you can get them for pretty cheap, at least compared to what they first were. So the question at hand is why hasn’t the “personal plane/flying car” caught up yet? Why are we still a slave to the airline industry and their overpriced flights, lack of real food, terrorists and poor service? As with everything, only the rich have their own planes. We need the flying personal car to come up to speed; I want the future to be here now, is that too much to ask?

New stuff I’ve gotten into lately:

Social-Habana Cigar Café (downtown SD, it’s no Hemingway’s, but it was cool)
Mental-Stupid thoughts about flying cars
PS2-ESPN Football

How to ruin your brother in laws vacation:

Take him to play basketball where he jumps up for a rebound and comes down on a dudes foot, thus rolling his ankle, severely spraining it. Then take said bro in law to emergency room for xrays and so he can get crutches. I know that’s what Ryan wanted to do on his weeks vacation in SD, to be on crutches and in pain. Luckily, there was no fracture, but possible ligament tears, doctors have to wait for the swelling to go down until they can tell or not. Ryan is being a good sport about it, but I feel horrible about it and wish I would have gotten hurt instead of him. Ahhggg.

Moving on to better news, Tracey and Michele are in LA right now and about to be part of the Price is Right audience. Tracey called me this morning and said they got on the show. They had to stand in line all night last night to do it though. Since this is their third attempt at getting on the show, I’m happy they have finally succeeded. Hopefully one of them wins some stuff.

Before Ryan got hurt, we did get to beach on Saturday with everyone, including my niece Hannah. Ryan got out and did some surfing and did pretty good for his first real time out there. And last night Ryan and Michele took us out to the Field for dinner, which was good as always. Back to work for me
