I left San Diego today. Very hard to leave. I spent some wonderful time with Jen, Dave and Cecilia, and Mark, Sean and Erik. Erik and I watched 2 Mothra movies. Rebirth of Mothra and Godzilla and Mothra and the fight for Earth (or something to that effect). Ask Erik anything about the Godzilla and other monster movies and Star Wars and he can tell you all about them. He is so into Star Wars. Reminds me very much of his dad!
Half of their livingroom is covered with any number of Star Wars ships and other characters. When I arrived there on Sunday it looked like he was preparing for a war of the worlds.
Dave caught a cold on Monday and hasn’t been able to hold Cecilia since. He really felt bad today but just couldn’t bring himself to stay in bed. Maybe Thursday since it may rain, but today, though cool, was going to be nice enough for him to want to wash the car.
I am now officially a member of Dave's “Comet” passenger club. He took me for a ride on Tuesday with the top down. Very fun. Reminds me a lot of the old ford convertible Glen had when we met.
The night before I left, Jen & Dave took me to dinner at Azul at La Jolla Cove. I had a wonderful Salmon dish and an amazing Crème Brule. It’s always fun to see the reaction of people when we take Cecilia anywhere. The owner of the restaurant came by twice while we were there. And every table did an “ahhhhh” when we picked her up. Her public loves her.
This morning I was up and out of the shackteau by 8 as we (Jen, Cecilia & I) had breakfast at The Big Kitchen. That is a fairly well known hole in the wall in South Park where at one time Whoopi Goldberg waited tables. And, the food is pretty good.
I’m counting the days until our next trip to see any of the Grandchildren. March for California and April for Florida. We haven’t seen Marcello, Cassandra & Kelsey since last May. This is way to long to not see our grandchildren. All our vacations are centered around the grandchildren and interspersed with that, visits to Austin to our girls (yes they are still our girls no matter how old they are). Sarah will be home by midyear so we will have to arrange a trip. (We have lots of boxes to deliver!)
Several of our children (I’ll not mention any names) would be very proud of me as I watched most of the inaugural festivities. Not to mention that it’s the only thing I could find on TV! I’m really trying to have an open mind about this election. I wish him luck. (I’d still rather meet our former first family – George W and Laura). The rest of the family, I know for a fact, didn’t watch it.
It seems wherever I go outside of Texas – I can only find CNN, NBC and that ilk. They are still Bush bashing. Get over it guys!
Till next time.

you mean like how they all just "got over it" when Clinton left office? yeah, right. Clinton bashing is still going on a decade later. And fair game I say. Any administration is fair game as long as their decisions affect our present day, in either a good or bad way. I still hear FDR's name being thrown around. And don't think I will go easy on Obama just because I'm liberal minded.
