Thought I better catch everybody up on my unemployed life, so no one thought I drank a rat poison cocktail. Fires around SD are finally contained and air quality is back to normal. Which is good because my last few days have been out in the sunny & 70 degree weather riding, running, working out and lounging at the beach. This was after a quick 4 day trip out to Phoenix to catch up with my new godson, Jack and Kevin & Eileen Isola in Scottsdale. We also picked up a new Italian Greyhound rescue for Simran to keep Tuscany company. Hangin in Scottsdale with the Isolas was a blast. Jack is an amazing kid that rarely cried the whole time we were there. I assume he's so mellow from all the pot Kevin smoked growing up. I almost had to change my first diaper, but it was a massive poo explosion, so Kevin did the honors. I did watch though and almost puked from the smell. But Kevin's gas throughout the weekend wasn't much better. Friday, when we arrived, was Halloween so we set up camp outside with adult beverages and made fun of neighborhood kids while giving away candy. We got to meet some of their really cool friends with kids, such as Norman who loved to talk about x-rated things he saw at Havasu and Dana who got loaded and bragged about how cute her baby was. The next night, we hooked up with another friend from the Sunnyvale hood, who cashed out of the So Bay to buy a 5,000 sq ft, 6 bedroom house with pool in a gated community for $320,000. California real estate sucks. The house wasn't even full with 6 adults, 4 kids and 4 dogs running around. The highlight was my successful attempt to teach his 6 year daughter to do the Beyounce "Crazy in Love" booty shake. The low point was when his 4 year old son decked me in the face and gave me a fat lip. The rest of the time we ate well, hooked up with some other friends, did doggie adoption stuff and played with Jack. To see Kevin Isola with a kid is an incredible thing. Both he and Eileen are such great parents, as I knew they would be. It was a great weekend. Then I found out I didn't get a job I really wanted on our 5 hour drive home on Monday and now I'm really angry. What the hell.....the beach was nice today.
My final words of wisdom... Do NOT rent Legally Blonde 2. I only hope my friends can learn from my mistakes.
