Oh, dear. I'm terribly sorry to hear about your grandfather. I know what that's like; I've lost both grandfathers and one grandmother. My condolences. :hatsoff:
San Diego? Whereabouts? My dad's side of the family is from San Diego. I don't know the area too well, but I have relatives in La Mesa and Lemon Grove. My brother lives there too. Maybe, if I ever go visit him, you and I can get a beer. I wouldn't hold my breath, though.
I've been busy with work on and off. It's been a fairly steady year, but the regularity at which I've gotten irregular hours at work cost me my 4-year relationship because she couldn't handle the uncertainty of my daily schedule.
So, yeah, things are pretty status quo over here.
