jog N blog

I bought a beach cruiser for the girlfriend this weekend. We picked it up on Saturday, then broke it in on Sunday. I've wanted to ride around down here since we moved in. All those great restaurants, shops, and bars are all within reach without using my car. Woo Hoo! My sister came down this past weekend, and I had a friend here from Canada the week before that. what up, James? We had a classic time down in TJ. we took the trolley down, had a good Mexican lunch with 4 margaritas and a classy portrait of yours truly, then trolleyed back to Old Town. while I'm blogging this, there's been an annoying car alarm going off. the steady beeep- beeeeep........................beeep- beeeep started driving off. I always thought those alarms would never do anything. Hopefully our neighbor's car wasn't stolen. pretty funny. Speaking of cars, mine has been overheating. I finally took it in and my terrific mechanic, Smitty's Service, only charged me $26 to fix it. It turns out all it needed was a new radiator cap. I had been bracing for a couple hundred dollar hit all weekend (while I got chauffered around) and it never came. I am sure I can put the money to good use. today after I picked up my car & paid the 26 bucks to get it fixed, I went for a jog around the bay. I'm on a mini-health kick. my jogging leaves a lot to be desired, I just can't live this close to such a great path and not go out and run. It's too nice. today I tried to run with a "real jogger" for a while, then ended up hacking and wheezing by the side of the road before slowing waaaaay down.
