| Winter in Nebraska |
We spend the winters in San Diego. When we called Arizona home, San Diego served as our summer retreat. (There are only two seasons in Arizona, winter and hell.) Now our legal residence is Omaha, Nebraska. To escape snow, we switched to using our condo mostly in the winter, except part of our itinerary is traveling to Nevada in search of snow at Heavenly. Life’s confusing.
We discovered we prefer San Diego in the winter. No summer
crowds at the beach, breakfast seating at cafés is less than forty-five minutes,
and you can go to a movie without standing in line. In truth, the weather’s
better as well. In the winter, you don’t need air conditioning, which is convenient
because we don’t have air conditioning. We just open a slider and let the sea
breeze in.
Since Christmas, I surfed regularly, got a little snow
skiing in, saw a lot of my family, and took many looong walks around my
neighborhood. I had to take these walks because Pacific Beach has too many
great places to eat, and I don’t want to look like the Michelin Man.
It’s time to go home. We miss the grandkids and we want to
enjoy spring in Nebraska. We had some fun, but this has not been one of our
better sojourns to San Diego due to some tough personal issues. Despite difficulties
and distractions, I still got some writing done.
A lot of stuff is coming. Soon. I promise.
