The "catching up" reports of the European trip will continue along with some race-based adventures that took place between then and now. We'll interrupt that irregularly scheduled programming with a more current update: a look into a rare weekend spent entirely in town.

Rainy season is over, June gloom has yet to come. This is the Santa Barbara that we all pay the crazy rent to live in. Friday was a nice top-down drive to the park for some lunchtime frisbee, then another drive after work to... another frisbee game.

Saturday morning we decided to mix it up with some frisbee on the beach, followed by some Cinco de Mayo tequila, beer and tacos at Casa Blanca downtown. Met up with some friends in the afternoon for a walk up and down State St and some window shopping. Home for a moment to shower the sand off from the early morning game and then off to the beach-front boat house for a sunset on the beach accompanied by a few more drinks and what is supposed to have been the largest (closest) full moon of the year.

Sunday we didn't play frisbee! Got up a bit late, then spent the morning working on some freelance work that I had gotten WAY behind on. Work hard, party hard - gotta keep the balance there.
Chris, friend and past (Softshare) and present (RightScale) co-worker, has a brother Mike. Brother Mike has himself a career as a percussionist. Mike was going to be percussing in the service of the traveling musical "Hello My Baby," an affair which Chris recommended. We went and can safely second and third his recommendation.

Between work and play (see that play on words there?!?), I hadn't found the time for lunch. No food at home and didn't want to shop hungry, so we rolled by La Suparica on the way to Trader Joe's. Ran into some friends there also (small town). Packed up our eats and stopped by the beach for a bit to eat with a view.

Went home for a bit after dinner and shopping so that I could do more freelance work, but Chris and Mike were going to Dargan's so we popped out for a snack and a beer before bed.
Not bad for a three-day run, but I'm going to need to spend the rest of the week consuming my healthy eats from the Trader Joe's run in order to make up for the monetary and dietary cost of this weekend's festivities.
