3.67 Years

It was April 27, 2012. That was my last full day in San Diego, CA. Three years and slightly less than eight months. That is way too long. I’ve been there three times. On my honeymoon in June of 2009, then with the kids in August of 2011, then with the kids and Jen’s folks in April of 2012. We haven’t been back since. No wonder it feels like it’s been an eternity since last I dipped my toes into the Pacific… it has been an eternity!

See the dude with the guitar? Just make him a lot taller, a lot heavier, give him a mop of glow in the dark red hair, and give him a much, much cooler guitar. That is what I’ll look like when I’m living on the beach, busking for change, and playing music to the largest swimming pool on the Earth.

Make it so!

Too Soon for Cabin Fever?

Is it too soon to start showing signs of cabin fever, or seasonal affected disorder or whatever it’s called?

I’m getting that time-to-move-to-California-and-spend-my-days-busking-on-the-beach frame of minds. The traffic, the weather, the feeling run down, the cold and flu, and general blah are all conspiring against my sanity right now.

And it’s not even officially Winter yet.

Just photoshop a picture of me sitting on the sand strumming my 12-string.

Please?

A Thought on San Diego

There is only one downside that I can see about moving from Boston to San Diego. (we’re not, I’m just fantasizing)

San Diego does not have an NHL team.

There’s the LA Kings and the Anaheim Ducks. I expect I would follow the Kings for my local NHL fix, although Ducks games would be slightly closer to home.

I’d still be a Bruins fan, of course. I mean… duh!

Is San Diego Heaven on Earth?

27 Reasons San Diego Just Might Be Heaven On Earth

My beautiful Jen just sent me this link. There is nothing on this Earth that I would like more than to pack up the wife and the step kids and make our way over to San Diego right now.

Like really, right now. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Right now.

Winter Sucks, Even in Spring

Spring started yesterday.

Today is the first full day of Spring, and the first day that isn’t even a little bit in the Winter season.

The forecast for this coming Wednesday calls for a blizzard.

Even when it’s not Winter, I hate Winter.

It is definitely time to move to San Diego.

Repeat

This is probably getting repetitive, but I am so damn sick of winter… and it hasn’t even started yet.

I am not joking in the least when I tell you that the traffic on route 128 North tonight was moving just as slow as it moved during the snow storm last night.

Are you kidding me?

San Diego, here we come!

San Diego

It has been decided. We are moving to San Diego so that I can fulfill my lifelong dream of being a busker on Mission Beach. We have rented a beach front condo with 100% glass walls facing West. My beloved Jennifer has been offered a position as CTO of both Google and Apple. She will run both companies remotely from a home office with an ocean view. The kids, while only aged 12 and 10 have been given full scholarships to the University of California, San Diego. True they will be 10 years younger than their classmates, but the university has assured us that they are also at least 10 times smarter and 10 times more mature than the rest of the student body, so there will be no issues for them.

As for me, I’m just going to sit on the beach with my sweet new 12-string and play old blues tunes. I won’t even ask for money. After hitting the Powerball last week I don’t need it.

I’m living the dream!

At least I was until I woke up. You mean I have to go to work tomorrow?

Ah, crud!
