California...

Am I soon going to be cruising down the 101? Probably not because A) I live in San Diego, the 101 is in LA and B) Nobody cruises down the 101...it's pretty much always a parking lot. I got into San Diego last night and finally was able to settle in around 9PM...midnight my time. Got a cool car... a 2006 Ford Mustang hard-top - red ... Drove around my new neighborhood...Little Italy...very cool. Was amazed at my 8 minute commute this morning...that was a first for me...mine usually runs ~25 mins...I'm going to head out for a run along the Pacific tonight after work. I'm looking forward to my 8 weeks out here...I'm a bit nervous over the fact that I don't know anybody in San Diego or even know where the grocery store is...but of course, leave it to Starbucks to have a store right on my corner. Now if I could only figure out how to get out of my apartment building without going through the parking garage...its weird not to have a TV at my access...how the hell am I suppose to watch Oprah! Oh well...this will be a great experience for me and I hope my friends come to visit - hint hint... one other thing ... crazy but I have had to wear my glasses for the first time consistently in 3 years. Is my vision getting worse or is it stress related? Or did I finally step into the deep end and I will now have to wear glasses/contacts for the rest of my life? Getting older is so much fun.
