I took my parents to the San Diego Fair on Friday. I went last week with the GF but this was a belated Father's Day present. I wanted to show him the woodworking exhibit and the fine art and photography exhibits, too.
I've been swimming in the ocean the past few afternoons, too. So great to do that.
Watched the US v Brazil FIT NIT final today at a bar in Kearny Mesa. Fun time, good first half for the US, bad second half. 3-2 Brazil final score.

Vegas and SD Fair
Went to Vegas for a few days 2 weeks ago for my birthday present. We had a great time. The weather was comfortable; cloudy and warm. It even rained a bit one of the days. Vegas is hurting; even though we were there Sunday through Wednesday the crowds were still exceptionally small. The cabbies asked us if we wanted to ride down the Strip or take the side streets - that's never happened before. Restaurants were 2/3 full, we bought tickets for Cirque du Soleil's "Ka" 24 hours before the show time and landed 4th row center seats. The pool was practically empty and one night we had the entire outdoor patio of the East Side Lounge to ourselves.
I had two photos accepted into the SD Fair this year out of 4 submitted but while the percentage was disappointing the results weren't; both images received "Honorable Mention" awards. We went this last weekend and had beer and brats, walked the fine art and the photography exhibits, she bought some jewelry and we walked the Halls of Crap, too.

Fair Photos and Vegas Getaway
This year I again entered some of my photographic work in the San Diego and Orange County Fairs. This one was accepted in both fairs' competitions, while this one was accepted in the San Diego Fair but rejected by the Orange County Fair.
I also went to Las Vegas last week for a few days as a birthday present. Vegas is dead; lots of empty restaurant tables, empty lounges by the pool and the cabbies would ask us if we wanted to take the Strip or the side roads (in the past the side roads were the only choice due to all the traffic on las Vegas Blvd.).
The guys came over yesterday for a band rehearsal to prep for later this summer's party.
