Good Walk/Great Wife

Today I got a little over-zealous in my hike. I kept thinking, 'Surely I'll exit somewhere relatively near to where I entered,' so I continued walking.

And walking.
And walking.

Finally I exited the ranch to find myself behind the Humane Society, far from where I had started this trek. I walked for almost 3 hours, so going the way I came would lead me right up into the brushy hillside and steep, rocky trails right about dusk.

No thanks.

So, I called my lovely wife, who is Googling the address of the Humane Society on her Droid and coming to get me as I text this post from my phone.

So now, I won't have to be eaten alive by a mountain lion!

Thanks, Babe!

The Past Several Days Have Been . . .

- Probably about 3/4 unpacked!
- Supposed to have internet after tomorrow morning. I'm not holding my breath.
- Praying to find a job soon.
- Went taste testing at Orfila Vineyard. It was a blast!
- Kimberly has a nasty cough. She sounds like a smoker!
- My car has an unpleasant odor in it.
- Looking forward to establishing some sort of routine.
- Kimberly is a beast! She put together 4 chairs, a table, and a tall cabinet all in just 2 days!
- Its annoying that some people feel the need to defend Indiana when I express positive things about California. I mean, really people, just because I like it here doesn't mean I immediately hate where I came from! I've got enough love for 2 states!
- I've gotta list of people I'm really missing already! I've also gotta list of people I'm really NOT missing. I guess it all balances out. Although, the people on the MISS list are pretty awesome . . . (sigh).
- I love the oceanside pier! I can't wait to build a fire on the beach this fall!

- I love being in Cali with Kimberly!
- Today we went to Dixon Lake and chatted with some fishermen, saw an enormous fish, and watched diving ducks catch minnows.
- The unpacking of our apartment is going well. I imagine we'll be all done within just a few more days!
- My mom made the trip with us and is staying to visit for a while. We are so glad she's here!
- Tomorrow we're heading to the IKEA in San Diego. It'll be Kimberly and Mom's first time there. Maybe I'll take them to see Sea Port Village, too. I know they'll love it!
