La Jolla to Mountain View - 518 milesSpent the weekend with my Aunt and Uncle in La Jolla. They have a great house with a view of the ocean and the weather was wonderful. They don't bother with things like WiFi - so no updates from their house.
Got home very late last night after about an 8 hour drive.
Got up early Sunday morning and spent the morning on Coronado Island (see pic, not mine but it looked so cool I had to steal it!) - cruising down the beach, and watching all the people go by. Drove down to the border crossing at Tijuana. Didn't go into Mexico, no time, and did not bring the passport. But since I was so close, I thought I'd make the trip go all the full length of the state.
Got into work this a.m. to another avalanche of work. Had lunch with my buddy Lynn, who caught me up on all the gossip. Rumors of layoffs, as the economy tanks, and our stock price is at a 17 year low (lucky for me I don't have any). Word is Tony got 2 margin calls in one day. Also, it turns out there is a certain receptionist who was seen taking a long lunch with the newly divorced manager. Newly divorced manager just turned 50 and bought a Porsche. In my book he gets an F for originality - OK your going through a mid-life crisis, but put some imagination into it, will ya?
Anyway looks like a late night, with dinner from the vending machines. Or maybe I'll treat myself to the indian restaurant down the street. I'm hungry.

That always feels like a long drive all in one day, especially on your own.
Yum-- Indian food!
Yeah, next time I need to plan better, and do a circle tour so there's no long drive home.
But I think it's gonna be a while before I can take a good long road trip again.
