Jan5-Fun in San Diego

So, Okay, are you ready for another "Dad" story? Last night we met Melinda for dinner at a cozy great little Italian restaurant on India Street(DO NOT HESITATE...order the homemade Lasagna). Melinda is Jared Dudley's Mom. Jared was a star player for the BC Eagles when our son Ty was a walk-on and Jared now plays for the Phoenix Suns. We were dining in a cozy corner with another table of ten who were celebrating and having a boisterous time, which Dad couldn't resist...somehow, in his usual way, he made a connection...he was taking their pictures with their camera, and they were taking our picture with ours.Dad insisted that Melinda do one of her Madison Square Garden whistles.Things got rolling..At diner's end, Melinda insisted on picking up the check cause "we were on her turf" and gave the waitress her card. Ten minutes later, our waitress returns and says our tab was taken care of by the boisterous table. We all sang a heart-felt round of "God Bless America" Everyone clapped and yelled goodbye to "The Joisey Guy." I'm not making this up....and we were just drinking Pelligrino. Dad's like the Lottery...You Never Know! We had a great time catching up with Melinda.
