Last weekend Paul and I went to San Diego to visit my cousin, Eric. I posted some pictures, but I'm going to put in links for those of you who are lazy. Hey, I'm not judging. I'm in the lazy group. We got there in 5 hours, and went out to a bar that night. There's this pizza joint next to the bar, and at 1 in the morning when you are drunk, it's the best pizza in the whole wide world. The next day we went to a picnic thrown by Eric's company. There was free food and beer. Very good. A dunking booth, ping pong, and we played touch football. Actually, they played, I just got in the way. I don't know the rules or, actually, anything about football. But at the very end, Paul threw a long pass, and I managed to catch it and run for a touchdown. So I wasn't a complete waste of space. The best part of the picnic was this huge air jumping thing for kids. It fell down. Don't worry, no one was hurt. Then we went to the beach. Paul and I surfed for the first time, and actually stood up for a while. We went out to eat that night, then to a bar that served beer in yard-long glasses. That's a lot of beers. A little more than four, I think. Anyway, we went to Coranado the next day and walked around for a while. Paul and I were home by 8 that evening. Back to the gas crisis. (In case you haven't heard, a pipeline broke, and Phoenix was without gas for a few days. Prices spiked to $4/gallon + and almost all gas stations ran out of gas. It's better, but not fixed. The cheapest price now is around $2/gallon.) So, we had a great time.

In other news, I got a printer/scanner/fax/copier from Office Max. I also went to Target and Best Buy, but liked the price (on sale for $79.99) and the features. When the guy rang it up, it said ($59.99). He looked at the add, then looked at me and said, "Well, good for you." Yeah, we need to hit the casinos. And there are a ton out here b/c of the indian reservations. Well, I think I'm going to cook dinner now. I made pork chops last week for the first time, and Paul said they were good. I like to cook, but I don't really like a lot of different things. So he had the pork chops, and I ate chicken. Oh well. You all should try surfing at least once. It's so much fun!
