Getting a lot done this week. San Diego Fair and racetrack is open and I love to try all the super fattening foods. I don't go on the rides much anymore, but I do enjoy the ribbon winning booths and set ups. Best of all you see a lot of different types of people from San Diego who flock here every year. Actually I do always go on the ferris wheel every year of course and that is technically a ride and I can see the hot air ballon landing site. Also the Pacific Ocean from way up there. It's the best fair in Southern California in the summer and I hope everyone tries it out. It is held at the Del Mar Racetrack which is off the I-5 in North San Diego. About a 2 hour drive from Los Angeles.

Went by Point Loma Seafoods again but it was rather dreary outside and I thought it might rain. Then drove thru Hillcrest and down the 163 to Kearney Mesa and looked into the Book Off store and bought some books. Found a good book on San Diego haunted houses for my collection as well as a book on the 5 mafia families and I used a first letter memorization technique - let's see if I can do it: Bonnano, Colombo, Genovese and Luchese. Nope see I forgot one! I think it begins with C.
Gorgeous weekend here in San Diego with the fam. Went to Phil's BBQ and Seaworld. Also walked about Mission Bay which is the smaller bay north of San Diego Bay. Saw a lot of parties along the beach on the other side at Fiesta Island and the dog walkers. Fiesta Island is such a big ugly place it's amazing the haven't found something better to do with it. When SanDiegoGov or SanDAG get the funding it would be great to witness and real beach park arise from what is now sand dunes and OTL tournament areas. Then we traveled all as one back to La Jolla and stopped off at Mt. Soledad Park which has the big cross. The view was amazing. Imagine having a house up there? Looking north you see the coast and UCSD and UTC areas. Then lok straight out to see East County. To the South you look over Mission Bay and Point Loma (which look very small) and you see the Coronado Bridge and downtown San Diego. Even further out you will see Tijuana. Then we...
Bought a lot of San Diego Padres baseball cards on Ebay today. All the cards that I wanted to get back in the 80's but didnt have enough money well now they are even cheaper than they were back in the 80's! Does anyone else collect baseabll cards. If so I would liek to hear from you. Esp. if you like Steve Garvey RBI Champion and Goose Goosage who saved alot of games back then for San Diego. I have Steve Garvey's rookie card when he was still with the Dodgers and before he came to San Diego. Also special James Curtis custom cards that feature myself on various topps and donruss formats. It is a real hoot to see your own name like "Curtis, James" "Padres, San Diego" on what appears to be a real baseball card. Has anyone else ever done that too with custom baseball card or football cards. You can get it done at San Diego printing shops and you just tell them your name like James Curtis and they will take your picture in a baseball stance and every...
