I went rock climbing tonight with some people from work. I’ve always been interested and it was a lot of fun. I started out on a 5-8 which is the easiest level but by the end of the night I almost was able to complete a 5-9. The biggest thing I noticed was that my grip was really sore by the end. I could really feel it in my fingers.

I recently purchased hosting for my site. I selected Total Choice Hosting and while its too early too tell, I think I’m going to have more than enough functionality to do the things that I want. I’m interested in learning how to use SQL scripts and possibly even attempting to set up my own personalized news feed similar to “My Yahoo.”

Eventually, I’ll be publishing this blog to my server as well but I’m waiting for my sub-domain to filter through first.

Chad and Melissa had Jackson today. He is shown here with his older brother Ethan. 

Went and saw “Rent – The Musical” last night. Certainly an interesting play but rather dark. I haven’t been able to decide if I liked it or not. The first part was good, it touched on some of the issues that the characters had to deal with but the second part really exposed those issues more…which was realistic, but not encouraging in any way.

The beer was pretty good though and only $3.50!

I realize a lot of my posts are about surfing but that’s one of the main things I love about being out here in San Diego. Last weekend I tried a shorter board for the first time. For those that haven’t surfed, learning on a long board is considered the best way to start out because its easier to paddle and more stable to stand on. Switching to a shorter board is something that a lot of people do closer to the winter here because the waves are bigger and you need to be able to cut and move around. The difficulty is with the increased mobility, you lose stability which makes it tough at first for those who still are learing.

So, needless to say, I did crash a lot when I went out but I also managed to stand up a few times and although I wasn’t doing much, I can already tell this is much better than long boarding.

Went to the race track again this weekend. I finally won a bet, actually I won two in a row! I bet for a horse to show (which is did) and the I did a Quinella bet which I also won in the next race. I was feeling pretty cocky with my $10 winnings until Matt came along and won the Pick-4 which was won him about $500.

Went to see Placido Domingo last night at the Coors Amphitheater. What an amazing show. He performed with the San Diego Symphony orchestra as well as with Ana Marie Martinez.
