No I am very happy in San Diego

but I miss Parx so much, I used to really love driving down the New Jersey turnpike then taking exit 6 over the bridge in PA. then onto US 1 and then onto Street road.and going to little white Philadelphia Park.
Its amazing to live in paradise, but I really loved' going to Philly on those chilly winter and early spring mornings. I still get goose bumps when I remember Smarty Jones workout day between the Preakness and Belmont.
Then the so sad walk out the door when I watched Birdstone catch Smarty
in the Belmont, right there at Philly Park (Parx)

All my Philly memories

San Diego??

You are living in my dream location. The wife and I went there in the 90's. She was on a business trip and I went along to give her moral encouragement

The best part of SD is the weather. In my next life I'm coming back as a weather forecaster in SD. Low of 67, high of 72 and sunny - repeat as often as necessary.

I did take the tram to Tijuana. I purchased two amazing blankets for maybe 10.00 US?? at the time (I know they were cheap). I do remember always looking over my shoulder. There were always pickup trucks with 4 federales riding in the back with their rifles displayed. It was a very unsafe place to be.

I stopped in one of the local joints, had a beer, and left as quick as I could.

Woof.

Its home now



I posted this on my facebook the other day




The weather kind of settles nicely, that is for sure.

I worked long and hard to move out here. Best thing I could have done back in 2010.

Now its Del Mar and taking it easy but most of the family is still in NJ
so everything has a price,

Bill
