One day just blends in with another and some days I have a hard time remembering what I did!! I guess that is what retirement feels like. I send e-mails to people and I think I am more chatty and being a bit more descriptive about what it is we are doing here than I am in this blog. I might have to go back to some of my sent items and cut and paste!!

Today is just a day to hang out and do some housekeeping stuff. I washed and dried three loads of clothes, made lunch and watched the Oilers game online. They lost, what else is new? It is Bernie's 56th birthday today and he is doing a whole lot of nothing. There are football games on all weekend long so he will read, do the suduko in the newspaper, and watch football. Since the day that Duke ate all the rawhide treats he hasn't been feeling great. He had diarrhea the day after he did that, then he seemed to be on the mend and now he is back to having the runs again. Poor little guy. He just lays around and sleeps.

We went whale watching yesterday. We left here at 8:30 for the drive downtown. By the time we found a parking spot, walked to the dock, got our boarding pass and stood in the line it was 9:15, the time they told us to be there! We left on the Marietta at 9:45 a.m. and had a nice rolling ride out to the open waters of the Pacific. To the east we could see Tijuana. We were out for about an hour and a half before we saw a whale. It didn't amount to much so we moved on and sure enough we got quite a show. I got some fairly good pictures which I am hoping to post on my Facebook page. We got back to to shore about 1:15 and went for lunch at Anthony's Fish Grotto. After that we strolled along Seaport Village and poked around the shops before coming home. It was a long time for Duke to be alone and he had two poops which is very uncharacteristic for him. So of course I had to clean everything and by the time I was done I was bushed! Nevertheless it was a good day and I am glad for everything that we did.

Wow! I can't believe I haven't written anything since Saturday. The weather here continues to be warm and sunny and some days it is actually HOT. That's why we came so I am really enjoying it.

We have been to see a few things since Saturday. Today we took a tour of the USS Midway. It is HUGE. The day before yesterday we went to the Maritime Museum and toured the ships they have there as well as taking a tour of the Bay in a pilot boat. It was interesting. When we got to the water front today there were two cruise ships loading passengers. My god those things are big. I have never seen one close up like that before.

When we were gone to the Maritime museum we left the dog behind in the trailer as usual. When we got back he had managed to get into an opened bag of rawhide treats that we had left on the table. I am sure he had fun eating them but it was not so much fun for him yesterday because he had the runs all day long. We just stayed close to home.

There are things to do here in the campground if you want to do them. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings there are Yoga and Low Impact Aerobics and water aerobics on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I haven't been yet - mainly because it is in the morning, early in the morning.

San Diego is in the midst of Charger fever. The NFL team is in a division final game on Sunday. We saw them play their last game of the season on January 3rd and the parking lot was crazy with tail gate parties and revellers. I can just imagine what it will be like on Sunday. The city installed two lightning bolts on top of City Hall and there is a barber shop in Chula Vista which is doing a brisk business shaving heads and designing bolts. I could care less but it is amusing to watch everything and everyone get "charged" up for the game.

The weatherman is talking about cooler weather and a storm. What????? I have to listen to the weather tonight and hear what that is all about. It is not supposed to be cool here. LOL
