What a long, relaxing disconnect this weekend was. I boarded up my apartment on Friday (not literally, but I did close all the blinds and windows) and drove to Phoenix to spend a couple days at some resort my family had. All the pools and slides were nice, but the heat was just brutal if you were anywhere but inside with the AC. Surprisingly though, the sunscreen I used worked really well for once and I didn't get a bit of sunburn. Having no internet was inconvenient though. Hotels that charge you for Wi-Fi are impeding technological advancement.

It's also interesting to try different regions' version of Mexican food, because it seems the further east you go, the closer you get to ''Tex-Mex''. We went to a place called ''Some Burros'' (I guess a clever play on ''sombreros''), which I think caused my family out here to start calling burritos ''burros''. WTF!? Anyway, they had a ''Fundido Burrito'' with chicken and spicy cream cheese. I really wish I had gotten it, but I was too hungry to risk disappointment so I just had two tacos. They really weren't any different than what you would get here, actually pretty good.

Maybe if I had had said internet in our room I would have looked a little closer at the schedule and not sped home to watch the first game against the Dodgers on Monday when the Padres were actually off. I had to miss a big family Ikea trip because of that. Oh well. I'm ready to settle in and watch Sand Diego take this second half.

Back at work now, caught up, and having a mini Christmas in my office because all my stuff arrived yesterday and was waiting on my desk: sake set, graduation watch, wireless network card, and Lost Season 03. Good to be home.
