Back to it

Posted on by

Hey, they wouldn’t be routines if you didn’t do them routinely. So, yesterday, I did what I did on Tuesday.

Mama has her routines as well, like waiting for me on Tuesday morning when I’m on my way to the grocery store.

When the shopping was done, I took a walk to get reacquainted with the neighborhood.

Easter Mountain is still there
And so is the biggest house in Alta Vista
I hit a portion of most of the streets in the ‘hood.

When beer o’clock rolled around, we headed for Baloy Beach. If you’ve got ten minutes to waste, you can join us on our walk through Alta Vista as we made our way.

It had been a while since our last visit, but not much had changed on Baloy.

Some new signage at Baywatch Resort. This place has potential, we’ll see if the new owner can pull it off.
Swan got her toes in the sand fix, so she was happy
Still floating
Not very busy during our visit
The cutest girl there
Not much of a sunset, especially compared to the ones we saw in La Union
As good as it got
This is the dicey-looking entrance to Kim’s Place, a newish hangout on the beach
Not a large-scale operation
But Swan could sit there barefoot
And this is the view

Kim’s Place is penciled in for our Hash On-Home venue on March 31. I’ve discussed it with owner Kim, and his only concern is adequate seating for 40+ Hashers.

Not enough of those benches, and they might not hold up under the weight of several well-endowed Hashers.

Kim will see if the neighbor will let us use some of the adjoining beach huts. Hopefully, it will work out, and we’ll have an occasional beach venue to enjoy.

We finished our evening out with some dinner at Treasure Island (we shared enchiladas and tacos).

TI had Fox News on the TV. I prefer the music these days
Back on track

I didn’t lose any weight last week, but it doesn’t look like I gained any, either.

That’s how I’ll know I’ve achieved my goal

Almost twenty years ago, I ventured up “Hooker Hill” in Itaewon and discovered a dive bar called Grand Ole Opry. I wrote about the experience here.

Back in 1973, I was practicing gun control at “The Filthy Five” (some land my parents owned in Perris, California):

Rifle in my hands, pistol on my waist

I joined the Facebook political chorus with these submissions:

Sometimes petulant children need some tough love
Don’t be told what to believe; decide for yourself

Yesterday’s YouTube video sucked, sorry about that! I’ll make up for it today with some good stuff from the Filipina Pea. I always enjoy it when she opens the mailbag and answers questions from her viewers:

And the funny business:

Like mother, like daughter. Run, Forrest, run!
Crash, burn, and throw it away
There are worse things than her looking down in the mouth

Okay, well, at least I tried. Thanks for your indulgence.

  1. Back to the routines, at least for now. Congrats on somehow not gaining any weight.

  2. Re: Routines
    I bought my folks (who are both retired) a clock that instead of having time, has the days of the week. The clock face is divided into 7 quadrants and the (one) hand of the clock takes 24 hours to pass through that particular day. Bought it because my folks complained that they never knew what day it was as they all ran into each other. The point of the above is that obviously Mama keeps track of the days and knows when to expect you, which kind of surprised me. LOL

  4. Kev, yes, I was a little surprised as well. I only weigh-in once a week, so maybe my cheating hasn’t hit me yet. I’ll let you know Friday.
