Boys of Summer Book - Entry #99

San Diego, CA
Last night, after several hours and almost $200 in, I hit a royal flush on a video poker machine and won $1,000! I put a few dollars back into the machine and decided to call it a night. 
We’re up and on our way to San Diego. We are meeting a group at B.J’s pub, including a local Parkinsonian.

San Diego was special primarily because of Chuck and Audrey Miller. Their fund raising efforts made the trip possible. They graciously opened their house to us and made us feel very welcome.
Petco field was okay. Nothing at all wrong with it but it seemed to lack character. It fits in with the Southern California/beach feeling. I guess I think of Baseball in terms of northern surroundings. Tell that to the boys in the Dominican Republic.

The Dodgers were responsive to us. They gave us 25 tickets. We had a good turnout for our pre game BBQ. There was the usual late arriving on our part. There was also a very large crowd, 58,000 + and a beautiful sunny day to enjoy.

Today Dad and I go to Costco, see my Cousin Theresa and then get a workout in, methinks -- that would be really good, gust before getting off to the beach. Nothing too crazy, just enough to pump the blood a bit. 
Malibu camping -- so looking forward to it. Now is good.
