This weekend Diana and I did some fun stuff. On Saturday we hit up the ol' Pancake House for a nice big breakfast-for-lunch. My right jaw joint had been mysteriously hurting all the previous week (it's 99% better now), and after the previous meals of soup and stuff, it was nice to eat some real food. While there, we scanned through a newspaper, and saw the Greater San Diego Science Fair was going on at Balboa Park, and we decided on a whim to cruise down there. It was a lot of fun. Most of the projects there were from the "junior" division, which was 7th and 8th graders. Lots of "How does temperature affect (something)" and "Which gender does (something) better?", etc. There were some from the Senior division (high school), and they looked mostly like they were summer internships turned into science fair projects. Really impressive stuff, genetics and biochemistry and all sorts of things I didn't understand.
Sunday we headed out and found three geocaches in the same set of trails a little east of Manchester. I'd never been back there, it was fun to discover. I've really enjoyed geocaching for the fact that it's opened up various canyons and niches in San Diego that I never knew existed.
Last night, students at Diana's school performed their first (I think) play. Since the school is still being constructed, it was performed at a museum in La Jolla. We headed out for dinner, and met up with Diana's mom and cruised down there. The play was very interesting. It was a number of vignets about a 3 year old girl and her father telling her stories, but told from the 3 year old's point of view. As such, normal things were turned into the fantastical, and some very serious issues (dysfunction between mother and father, for instance) was present, but glossed over. Fun to see the play, as well as put some faces to names of Diana's work peeps.
Recent Netflix have included "Taxi Driver", which was pretty good, and "Dodgeball", which was silly but fun. Anyone interested in forming a dodgeball team with me? Looks like it could be fun.
That's about it for now.
