2. Thanks!
It rained some on Saturday, but otherwise very nice weather, good company (went with friend who is ALSO a Dem :) )We had a condo in Pismo Beach, dined out on local seafood, partied and just had fun!

Thought about and missed all you Lounge Lizards :hi:

13. I usually hit Los Osos (right next door)
over the Thanksgiving weekend. I have an old friend who lives there and I've been going down for several years. I like the weather a lot. Lots of wineries nearby. Wouldn't have to give up my habit.

11. It can be described in one word: football!
I have never watched so much football in the space of 2 days as I did this weekend, but with the Seahawks in the playoffs, I had to check out the competition!

7. Next time say "Hello".
Morro Rock's about 6 blocks from my house. If you went through the State Park as you came into town, you went right by me! If you passed by around 1:15, I was out in my front yard feeding a flock of wild turkeys.


Glad you enjoyed your weekend.

I sure will! I go to the coast every couple of months. What's the best place in Morro to get together?

And...it really was gorgeous this weekend! Loved it!!

It was a nice weekend. I went to one of the Birdwatching Weekend events...a raptor show. Incredibly beautiful creatures.

16. I was up there last month. Did you drive HWY 1?
Spent the night in Morro Bay and had a nice time. Its such a sleepy little town. Kind of like Mayberry of the west coast.
Did you have a chance to dine on any of those crabs that seem to be so popular up there?
