Shivers down my spine because of music is something I’ve had all my life. And this interesting article discusses a possible reason why. Very cool!

A warm breeze on BBQ island….
The weather in San Diego is supposed to be in the low 80s over the weekend – not quite tropical, but certainly warmer than many places in the US. This photo is from our trip to Tahiti last year. We had a day-long excursion to a small island (motu to those who speak the local lingo) that we refer to as BBQ island. The trip was great and I’d love to take another cruise with the Royal Clipper line in the future. Highly recommended.

It’s a little scary…
So I enjoy the lighted, inflatable Christmas decorations – Santas, Trees, Angels, etc – as I drive around in the evening. However, they very much remind me of cast-off snake skin when I drive by them during the day, sitting uninflated around peoples front yards. It’s like so much laundry that’s fallen off the clothes line.
And now for teh cute…
Yup, that’s me in December 1965 sitting on Santa’s lap. This is from back when Santa sat in the window of the Broadway Department Store at Chula Vista mall so that everyone could watch the kids see Santa. I was 2.5 so I have no memory of what I wanted to Christmas, but knowing my dad, I’m sure I got it if it came from Sears (that’s the store he had a credit card for). And yes, I really did have blond hair as a child, for those who doubt my present hair color!

How Nativities Can Go Bad
While looking at Nativities online, I ran across this site
, which details some of the worst nativities I’ve ever seen. The ducks at least are whimsical; some of the others are downright scary. Like the Naked Troll Nativity – no I’m not kidding. Thank goodness that the collector that gave the Museum over 500 sets didn’t see these.

- Boarding the plane to go home to San Diego, for the last time. #
- First day back at home seems – quiet. #
- Back at work – goofy people continue, but back upon not too bad. #
- Wishing I was in CO. #
- Just saw the Google Street View photo car driving through Bonita. A VW bug w/ tower and 360 camera mounted on top. Weird. #
- And a second one( a hatchback, not a bug) in Spring Valley. #
Present Status
This is the pile of stuff that went off to Amvets today as part of my preparations to move. I anticipate one more smaller donation to them, at least one more donation of books to the Friends of the Bonita Library, and a trip to the Hazardous Waste Disposal site at the dump before I move. I’ve also got a list with 31 things to be done before I move in addition to packing my stuff up. I have to make sure the Museum is as ready as they will be for me to be gone. And I have less than six weeks left. Oh, and then there’s Christmas and New Year’s coming up as well. And a visit from Stan as well, I hope.
Let’s just say that I’ve got a lot on my plate and it ain’t going away any time soon.
