Teaching In San Diego

| 13 Comments

Indeed… another great sunset in San Diego. Hmmm…

Just a short note here… teaching this week… good stuff and great students! Think what a boring job it would be to be a weather person here in the San Diego area. Nothing ever seems to change much… maybe that’s good.

Gotta finish breakfast and start imparting knowledge.

Yeah… I know it’s morning and I’m posting evening pictures…

They’re just too good to pass up!
