When Worlds Collide

*The race for the inside scoop

Last week I made a trip out to San Diego to spend some quality time with Trifecta. Our adventures included: Red Sox @ Padres (Matsuzaka vs. Maddux), eating at Ruby's, competing on the Nintendo DS's, 2-on-2 water basketball, softball, analog 'Catch Phrase', watching 'Hellboy', and trying to download lots of music before my flight but the computer saying, "Time Remaining: 5:15:42:23". Pretty much what you'd expect from a meeting of the blogosphere masterminds.

Sadly, the Nelson's are moving out of the Poway house on Crestwood. This meant we had to leave no trace of human life every time we left the house--something I've grown accustomed to since my parents are also selling our house and we have to go to such extremes as hiding the trash can when someone is coming to look at the house. We have had some great times there and it will be sad to see it go. Some fond Crestwood memories:

• Go-Karts
• Street Hockey (but do NOT let the ball roll down the hill)
• The "Bonus Room" (only the Lambert "Game Room" can compete for the best-title-for-a-room award)
• The rod-throwing contest
• "One Command" (When Blake got simultaneous commands from Ron & Ellen)
• Wimbledon. Barbara Walters interviews
• Mrs. Bogus, Kramer
• The ever smaller roll
• Stereo while you shower

I've uploaded a video series entitled 'Drunk Padres Fan' which showcases one of the highlights of the trip.
