"In his domestic administration my father had this system . . . to keep a journal and insert in it all occurrences of any note . . . A record very pleasant to look at when time begins to efface the memory of events, and very well suited to get us out of perplexity: When was such and such a thing begun? When completed? What retinues came? How long did they stay? Our trips, our absences; marriages; deaths; the receipt of happy or unhappy news . . . An ancient custom, which I think it would be good to revive, each man in each man's home. And I think I am a fool to have neglected it." (Montaigne, Book I, Essay 35 (publ. 1580))

Stone - San Diego

PJ, CPG and I drove over to San Diego on Friday 17 August; met up with PJr, NRG, and Romie (who were spending the week in SD); then Michael C joined.  From there - drove up to the Stone tasting event - our fifth time (PJr's sixth).  Beer, food, weather, company all delightful.  This continues to be a fine event.  Smaller group nice but we missed some of the energy of the bigger group! 



On Saturday morning we three met up with PJr/NRG/Romie at Broadway Pier for coffee and donuts and fun (including scooter test runs).  After lunch we went to the Modern Times brewery and found it highly acceptable.  Back downtown; met up with Naseem; we eight walk to the D'backs-Padres game (thanks POC for lining up tickets).  All good there other than final score.

Easy return drive on Sunday except a little more freon, or whatever automobile A/C systems use these days, would have been a plus.
