too cool!

People:
I am sitting on a downtown street in San Diego after a full day. And I am blogging. Using someone's wireless (thank you anonymous wireless hookup) and my laptop. Too Cool!

Had a full, full day: San Diego Friends Meeting, Clair de Lune, Balboa Park (The Museum of Man--why is is just about men? I cannot figure that one out! Because WO-MAN would somehow be too titillating shown in all of her anthropological glory??), the Botanical Garden, a Bonsai Show, and much time walking hand-n-hand with my sweetheart and glorying at the curiosity and beauty of my kiddoes. All in all, a glorious day. San Diego, you rock!

So GameBoy just brought me dinner so I will sign off now and get my fingers greasy. Fish tacos. YUM!
