HOw's the weather in San Diego
7:56 pm
lil*monkey
Does anyone need clues?
7:57 pm
torgone
Rainy earlier, but clearing now.
7:59 pm
lil*monkey
tor, I still have dreams about that fabulous Viet food we had in San Diego. I had a big dish of noodles with stir fried veggies & chicken.
8:00 pm
lil*monkey
and I think you had pho.
8:01 pm
Dorens
I love pho!
8:02 pm
lil*monkey
me too, Dorens
8:02 pm
lil*monkey
Vietnamese food is so fresh & delicious! Lots of veggies.
8:02 pm
torgone
Yes indeed. The noodles are abundant here. I've found some new places here that rock.
8:03 pm
Dorens
That's true.. and Pho is best thing on a really cold day!
8:03 pm
lil*monkey
Nice! I often take my mom to her fav place, Four Sisters, in Merrifield VA (northern Virginia). It's a Vietnamese/ Thai restaurant.
8:04 pm
Dorens
San Diego? I bet there's plenty of places that rock.
8:07 pm
torgone
You could spend a year just hitting noodle places here.
8:08 pm
Dorens
might just try that someday. Or at least a week.
8:10 pm
torgone
Then go after dumplings, then barbecue, then fusion, then ...
8:10 pm
lil*monkey
A week of different noodle restaurants... H E A V E N
8:10 pm
lil*monkey
Yummmmmmm dumplings
8:11 pm
Dorens
yes, and then a week of extreme diet and exercise!
8:12 pm
torgone
Party pooper ..
8:12 pm
lil*monkey
LOts of walking/ hiking to do in San Diego to counteract the noodles!
8:13 pm
Dorens
Oh, ok. I'll try that.
8:14 pm
torgone
I have some routes where I burn 2000 -3000 calories in a couple hours.
8:14 pm
Dorens
I'll have to work on building up my stamina before I do this, then.
8:15 pm
torgone
I'm no athlete
8:17 pm
Dorens
And I'm probably less of one. I push myself to do 2 - 2.5 miles on a treadmill most days. Can do that in 35 minutes when I'm really huffing and puffing.
8:17 pm
origami
That's a huge calorie burn tor! I'll be in your neck of the woods in a couple of months and will hit you up for a noodle lunch
8:17 pm
origami
to join in a noodle lunch I mean
8:18 pm
72 Temple Owl

8:20 pm

It would be my pleasure to treat you to lunch ..
8:35 pm

8:37 pm
72 Temple Owl

Dorens
Hi owl. cr 7 is gerund of french pancake

9:55 pm
rururocks

9:55 pm
Nef
Prostate surgery to enlarge the urethra (he does not have an enlarged prostate; they are just going to ream it out to see if that will help)
9:55 pm
Nef
Does the creek run in the summer & fall?
9:56 pm
rururocks
ouch.. poor guy
9:56 pm
rururocks

9:57 pm
rururocks

9:57 pm
Nef
It must be funny to see white water rafting going on when it's normally dry then!
9:58 pm
rururocks
maybe something by Urethra Franklin :D
9:58 pm
rururocks
i'm kidding about the rafting.. but the creek was moving quickly today
9:58 pm
Nef
LOL; He's want Beach Boys, ABBA, and Iron Butterfly if he could have his choice of music!
9:59 pm
Nef
LOL, Urethra Franklin! Good one ru! :-D (but no groan from me)
9:59 pm
rururocks
jeez.. talk about a wide selection in music
10:01 pm
rururocks
that's like he likes listening to Perry Como, Nirvana, and Celine or something
10:01 pm
rururocks

Saturday was his birthday; & I bought tickets to Ladysmith Black Mambaso (sp?) for us; & a friend went with us. He enjoyed that. Not sure if he'd tolerate a Beach Boys concert though
10:04 pm

10:07 pm
