It was a year ago Friday that I arrived in SoCal to start a new life.
I find it amazing that I have done so much and life is slowly changing (hopefully for the better.)
The most amazing part is that although I am officially based in San Diego, I have spent little time there. I've spent most of my year elsewhere be it Tijuana, Palm Springs or Texas. Right now, I am keeping my base in SD because I still haven't decided where my long term home will be. The case is made for both Tijuana and the Coachella Valley and I have given myself until July 1 to decide what to do.
Once that gets resolved, I think I will figure out how to buy a house. That should be fun.
In the meantime, it's back to work as I have three deadlines.

Let's talk about sex some more shall we?
Specifically safe sex.
I was reminded yesterday why it is more than just putting on a condom thanks to my housemate.
As a result of trolling on social media he found someone to invite over on Thursday. The guy never showed up. On Friday he pings my housemate and asks to pick him up in a park. Yesterday he came over.
Somehow he managed to drive eight miles after being asked if he was driving. He showed up at the door in an altered state of consciousness saying he was homeless and wanted a place to crash. His visit ended shortly thereafter.
I then told the housemate who begged for an intervention if he went too far that he really needs to put an effort into playing safer.
The response? "Wasn't he cute?"
My answer to that was, "No, the fact he was in an altered state of consciousness detracted from his appearance big time. You really do need to be more careful."
We shall see if the commentary took.

Back to Baja
Which is what I be doing next week.
This particular trip is reinforcing one decision about splitting my time between the Coachella Valley and Baja until July 1 when I will figure out where to live long term. That said, I was given a piece of advice on the subject from a client who thinks I have one heck of a First World Problem.
He suggested that as long as I have the ability to do so, I should take my time to determine where I want to be long term. That I will do.
That said, I will say that I will be more than happy to fill the order for a specific Tijanense who wants home made Mac and Cheese. The cheese may not be sharp cheddar due to procuring ingredients from a friendly, neighborhood Soriana or Calimax but it would be fun to show up at his place with the ingredients.
Did I mention I will throw in some Baja craft beer or wine?
When I know how this will work out, I will let you know.
