She shouldn't move to Boston!

So I made it to San Diego today. I'm staying in the Gas Lamp District, which is quite active at night! I walked around a bit, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of this city tomorrow and throughout the next week.

On my way here from Philly, I was chatting with my seatmate in first class. (That's 34 straight upgrades on US Airways, not counting last-minute flight changes.) She visits SD regularly to see her boyfriend, and she told me that the worst time to visit is May - early June. Why?

"Because it's sometimes cloudy in the morning."

What happened to Bob and Larry?

I don't know if there are any Veggie Tales fans out there. For those not familiar, the Veggie Tales were VHS videos created in 1993 to promote Biblical values in a setting that kids & adults would be able to relate to. Bob the Tomato & Larry the Cucumber were the main characters, and they'd appear as "actors" in different stories, many based off of Biblical stories. It was done as computer-animated video, and to this day, they still look great. The Veggie Tales can sometimes be seen as part of NBC's Qubo block on Saturdays 12-1 PM.

Anyway, the reason I talk about them is because I just found a fascinating article written by their creator, Phil Vischer, about the rise and fall of the original company that made them. Very introspective, and I think it brings much glory to the God who gave him this idea.

Enjoy!
