SUNNY SAN DIEGO - FAMILY TIME

I'm having a very good time here. Enjoying the visit. My daughter and son=in-law are very relaxed and low key. They are, however, also educated, informed and therefore interesting company. We get up, have coffee, breakfast, watch a movie and then the four of us play a few games on the WII system which Santa brought for Christmas. If you haven't heard of this, it's an interactive gaming system where you play, for instance, bowling and actually get up and go through the movements of throwing the ball and it appears on the screen of the TV. It is unbelievable technology. I cana tell you that my bwling on the WII system far surpasses my physical abilities in any bowling alley in America! We went out to exchange a couple oof presents and I bought a new purse. Took my grand daughter over to her boyfriend's house...took a mile walk this morning. And we ate...a number of times.

We've had a number of political discussions which I have enjoyed. Warched a copy of the movie An Inconvenient Truth. It is amazing and will make you think. For those of you unfamiliar with the book and movie, it is about the problems the earth and its population face in the not to distant future from global warming...(in our grand children's lifetimes - worst case scenario). It's well done, not boring and should be required watching. Thought provoking. My thought? If more people watched it perhaps more solutions might be thought of.

We've had discussions of various things, sex, drugs, violence, movies and their impace on children and society. with the children joining in. It's been so enjoyable. Reminds me of when my five were young...no subject was offlimits for discussion. So here's to mental stimulation. Something that's been lacking in my life. May you have plenty in yours. m
