Some fun things I've been doing

So on non-workout notes.

I went to my first gala and had a ton of fun. It is like a wedding on steroids. Free food, free booze and dancing. The gala was to raise money for PROEBA. A binational education program that the SD Natural History Museum does. We have given them money in the past to help facilitate the program. My Spanish teacher at the Museum works with PROEBA and Libby and Janet are in my class and they are sort of big wigs at the Museum. That is kind of how I got to go. I was able to work coat check for 2 hours and then enjoy the party. It was a ton of fun. Here are a few pics.

This is a picture of the ladies from Spanish class. Libby, Karen, Gilligan, me and Janet. We are a fun group!

This is what it looked like. Quite the spread! Really cool. There was a bottle of tequila at every table for people to share. I saw somebody leaving the party with a bottle tucked in his jacket!

Here is a picture of me with a dinosaur in the background. I was a few drinks in at this point and was having a good time. Had some killer mojoitos!

Jimmy and Christy had some friends from Philly come out to SD for the week. They all know each other from playing flag football in Philly. So they organized a pick up tournament Philly vs. San Diego sort of thing. It was a lot of fun and we got our asses kick. They are a lot better then us. Quicker to the ball on defense, faster to get the long pass and overall just really good. They were all really nice and a lot of fun to hang with. I invited Mel to come out and play because we are always in need of girls and I thought she might enjoy it. She had never played before and totally kicked ass. Had 5 catches, a few with some extra yard after catch and almost a touchdown. She also had a good pull on a flag for someone who has never played before. I was impressed. Maybe next season she should play.

I took a shot to the eye that resulted in a pretty good shiner. I will try to get a picture of it before it goes away and post it! I look like I have been beaten. After football we went back to Jimmy and Christy for a BBQ. Good food and good friends.
