Climbed up onto the roof to take telephoto shots of the Blue Angels performing on the first day of the Miramar Air Show. Love seeing them every year, even if it’s from a distance. Ever year our trees get bigger and cover a bit more of the sky. Also hope that by this time next …

Kitten Feeding
Helped my niece Kimi feed the three kittens today. She took care of Ron Burgundy and Mr. Blue, and I had Mr. Pink. These kitties are getting so big, so quickly. They look at you, they wrestle, the scratch themselves, all like real cats only much smaller.

José’s Surgery
Spent the afternoon with my best friend Sylvia’s family at Scripps Mercy Hospital in Hillcrest. We were there waiting for her father José to have his brain tumor removed. They took him in at 5:00 and at 7:30 the neurosurgeon came into the waiting room and told us that everything went very well. We were …

Brazen BBQ
Had lunch with Mary at a newly open barbecue restaurant in Hillcrest called Brazen BBQ. It was clean with quick service and really good food. I had a very tasty pulled pork sandwich but the portions were a bit too much, as usual. We noticed quite a few flies on the inside of the windows …

Tattle On The Rattle
While watching a large Monarch larva crawl away from the milkweeds, paying attention to where it might be heading to start pupating, I was very fortunate to discover a juvenile rattlesnake hiding behind a clay flower pot on the grass. (For those counting, this makes five since I’ve lived here.) Had I not been watching …

Another Baby Pet
My mom found this 4″ baby Alligator Lizard on our dining room floor today. Caught it in a styrofoam cooler and set it free in the backyard. He was not a happy little guy. Hope he grows up to eat many Black or Brown Widows.

Plaza De Panama: My Photos
The Plaza de Panama Project in Balboa Park used eleven of my photos (the ones outlined in red) in their Facebook album of the first public Walking Tour they gave, which I attended. Yay me.

Kittens At Four Weeks
Went to my brother’s house for a noon feeding of his three kittens who turned four weeks old today. They are finally getting to where they can see and track movement. Also finally got a shot of their other, other cat, the rarely seen Lily.

Coffee With Mami
Stopped by a Starbucks with my mom this evening for a short sit-down with coffee and a slice of really good lemon loaf cake. Unfortunately they didn’t have any iTunes music picks of the week, nor the app pick of the week, but they did have the same free book of the week download that …

Visiting José
Went to visit my best friend’s father in the hospital again today. Every day seems to bring better outcomes, although he did have to fire his appointed neurosurgeon for lack of communication and concern with hopes of getting transferred to another hospital under a different doctor’s care.

President Obama’s Motorcade
President Obama flew into Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego today for a short trip over to La Jolla for a $5,000 a person ($10,000 for a photo op) fund raiser. His motorcade drove west on Hwy 52 then south on I-5. The highway patrol actually stopped traffic on both freeways to allow his motorcade …

Tacos And Cat Poop
Had a family dinner at my brother Ozzie’s house again. Only a hungover Stephen and both New Mexico Csanadis weren’t there. We had bueno el Mexican food-o with fresh vegetables and sliced peaches as side dishes. Of course we had to play with the almost four week-old kitties, one of who stunk up the joint …

My MOG
Created a MOG account to listen to streaming music not because I needed another one besides iTunes, Pandora or Spotify, but because I just could.

Visiting José
Visited my best friend’s father after a terrible and completely unexpected series of symptoms and preliminary diagnoses sent him to the hospital. Simply put, tomorrow’s MRI results will decide his future.

Quick Dinner At Ozzie’s
Went over to my brother’s house with my mom to have dinner with Ozzie, Stephen, Kimi and the three, three and a half week-old kittens. My mom had made some hús leves (meat soup, minus the meat).
