Sunday

January Weekend in San Diego

The "wall" arms linked, Allison Dowd left, teammate center, Kate Dowd on the right. 1-16-10.

I had to get up a bit early today to drive my twin girls to their soccer game this morning. Bit chilly for us 55 at 8 AM. But now I'm comfortable, windows open and we might even get some (gasp!) rain this week.

My adopted home town is playing the East Rutherford/swamp/landfill/hwy exit/Hoffa's grave Jets.

So do I go the beach, play golf, go for a hike, sun bathe, bike ride, surf or watch the game?

I remember watching these games (usually at 4 PM EST) when I was a kid in Staten Island, NY. I was an AFL fan, Jet fan. I could not get over the fact that while we were getting ice and snow cuts on our hands while playing football outside, the people on TV were in short sleeves, the sun was shining and the girls were hot (enough to wear short sleeves). I'll throw the USC and UCLA games in to the mix as well. Broadcast AFL games were probably part of the reason I am here in So Cal, chomping on fish tacos.


Happy January Sunday everyone.
