I spent Labor Day weekend on a SCUBA diving trip in the Channel Islands off the SOCAL coast. Was a wonderful time with great people all experienced divers and fun happy hours at the end of days of underwater exploration.
I had done two dives the last day and couldn’t fly that day for fear of getting bent. I went to stay with my older sister in east county instead and took the train north to home after a couple days visit.
I have three sibs, the oldest are twins and I have blogged about fun times with them from the past. Patty is the middle sib and is three years my elder. She has been a widow for a few years, her husband of 40+ years having died awhile back.
Her house on a steep hill with a couple of acres of intensely planted tropical plants. Her house and deck completely invisible from the surrounding neighborhood.
It was very hot weather and had been for a month or so, unusual for Sandiego where the ocean breezes usually cool things off in the evening.i rode the trolly from downtown , she picked me up at the station, and we went out for dinner. In the AC in the restaurant we talked and ate and had a few drinks. I was tired from a long day on the boat and we went back to her place and crashed out. I woke up sweating at 3AM. it was still over 80 and after getting g a drink of water I went out and sat on the deck in my underwear. I guess I had made enough noise to disturb her because Patty came out a few I minutes later.
