Insanity is a dish best served microwaved

I have spent the weekend down in San Diego.  Originally, this was a three-part trip.  First, it was a chance to meet up with my cousin.  He’s an Eagles fan and they are playing the Chargers today. Second, I could see Maximus since he goes to SDSU.  Finally, I was going to see my old buddy Steve from Key Club.  Well the only that came through at the end is Maximus.  So I’ve spent the weekend chilling with him.  Unfortunately, the poor guy has mono and kidney stones.  We’ve been having a pretty low key weekend.  It is a good chance for him to get some rest away from the dorms cause the guy is just exhausted.

But I also learned this weekend that I’m definitely not in my teens anymore.  The guy eats SO much and I can’t keep up with it. I had to run an extra 10 minutes today plus an extra trip on the elliptical machine to pay for the food penance from yesterday.

We also just been hanging around doing cool stuff.  Last night, we went to Dave and Busters to play.  I forgot how much fun that place is… sober.  I got some glee beating him in the basketball shooting game.  It’s really strange because I’ve never played basketball in my life, but I can play that game really well.  I mean I really suck at basketball.  I can barely dribble and run.  When I get roped in playing, I just hang out at the basket and do layups and get rebounds.  One gift for being tall I guess.

Right now, Maximus is still asleep so I’m sitting in the corner writing this as I cool off from my run.  When he wakes up, I think we’re going to head downtown to watch the afternoon games.  On Friday when I got my car, I elected to just pay for them to refill my car.  The rate was great, so I figured it wasn’t a bad deal.  What I forgot is that I got an economy car that gets like a million miles a gallon.  In order to feel like I got my money’s worth, I have been driving around San Diego for no real reason just so I can return the car on empty.  It’s not cheap… it’s being economical with my purchases.

I have a week until I leave for South Carolina with Jen.  I’m excited because it’s going to be a different experience than just hanging around.  She’s done a great job planning out a bunch of stuff for us to do.  We have worked out in our relationship that I’m transportation chair and she is social.  My job is to get us there and make sure we have somewhere to sleep.  Jen figures out what we’re going to do when we get there.  It’s great because I love figuring out travel and I hate figuring out what to do when I get there.

But for today, it’s me getting ready to root on my beloved Patriots against those nasty Colts.  God, I love football season.
