San Diego
I've been in San Diego for a little over a week, and it's been good so far. I've been walking around a fair bit and quickly developed a serious farmer's tan, which isn't a huge shock since I used to have one most of the time when I lived out here. I realize this place is always in danger of serious drought, but to me there's never too many sunny days.
It's been really nice to spend time seeing people I haven't seen in years, though there's never enough time to see everybody for nearly as long as I would like to. I'm glad I gave myself as much time as I did. I still probably won't see everybody since most people have to work during the week so there is not as much time to see them as there would have been during high school or college. Part of all of us growing up, I guess.
At one point Shira and I went to the Comedy Club in La Jolla, we caught a nice show. They sat us down in the front and center. The last comedian ended up choosing me to ask about what I do, and jokingly cursed his luck when I answered that I'm a seminarian (it didn't work for the joke he was trying to set up). After he found out what a seminarian is, he ended up telling me that I should leave before the last 15 minutes of his set and then took a picture of himself with my camera and asked me to pray for him (in the last part of his set he looked at me and said "I told you to leave for this part"). It was both quite funny and really really strange.
