Yesterday we flew from New York to San Diego as Peter is one of the Guests of Honor of the San Diego Comics Fest (more information can be found at www.sdcomicfest.org)
Flight was uneventful which is the best you can get these days. Masking throughout the cabin was hit or miss but more had masks on than off.
The one interesting thing that happened before we boarded the plane is that Laurie Anderson was off to somewhere. I got to tell her how much I appreciated her work. She thanked me but was in a bit of a hurry. So that’s off my bucket list.
We were greeted by one of the heads of the convention, Matt Dunford, who picked us up and got us settled. He’s a class act all the way.
The convention starts this evening at seven giving us the day to acclimate to the time zone and get our feet under us.
After staying up late watching a couple episodes of Space Force, we went to sleep and slept until the alarm the previous room occupant went off at 5:45.
Having silenced that alarm, we went back to sleep until Peter’s dialysis machine informed us that he had cycled through, and the machine could be shut down. Half an hour later, I got the whole system shut down.
I was awake at this point. I took a long hot shower getting a lot of the kinks from the airplane seat out of my back. I went to breakfast and picked Peter up something to eat when he finally woke up.
I thought I was awake but my eyes kept closing. We had nothing to do until seven so I went back to sleep.
And slept for quite a while.
After Peter and I finally woke up and were ready to deal with the day, Matt was kind enough to take us down to the gas light district so we could have lunch and look around a bit. I took a photo of the Convention Center that looked almost deserted.
Lunch was at a steak place it is impossible to get into during SDCC called Moe & Mickey’s. After a very fine and satisfying meal, we wander the Gas Light a bit. They have shut off parts of 5th Ave to make the same outdoor structures as we have in NYC.
I am enjoying the weather a lot. I think sitting outside is going to be an activity for me this weekend.
Right now we are relaxing before starting the convention.
I am enjoying being rested. I don’t even really feel stressed. It is an interesting feeling that I had forgotten.
I am grateful for a change of venue to clear the mind.
