repost: R|ReLo'd #1: i'm here in the BA ...

ANNIVERSARY ... today marks my being in the BA for 1-yr after leaving SD on 10/24 with stuff packed in my little car - sh** and those ever so must have with me items in my car (... the stuff that if the movers lost or broke, i'd be bummed big time).

AM TOTALLY MELANCHOLY ... so i decided to revisit (via blog posts) the last 2 months of being in SD and stuff i did to pass the time ...

• procrastinated: (tho's there were certainly more techniques, just a few)
  
• on-line game for procrastinating (which i did quite a bit) from packing and stuff;
• took time out for a (self)interview
• stalked photographer of my favorite picture and pal, pigdog
• moving business: moving quotes from various moving companies
• drinking: drinks (comp'd, of course) with socal friends for beer, wine, margaritas and martinis (with former interns), sangria, wine and martinis, outing with the gals for movie-beer-martinis
  
• eating: meals (comp'd, of course) at a place now closed, deli brunch (where i (errr ... we, unanimously) booted my only other corporate board member), fave places parallel 33 and vagabond for lunch - relunch - dinner, del mar's il fornaio, and more that i didn't post
  
• out & about relaxing: walks in the morning and evening 'round the neighborhood
  
• getting organized with a plan: weekly planning (reading this has totally tired me out for today)
• reunion: squeezed in (after movers dropped of stuff on 10/13 + before going back to SD for a week) the 25th h.s. reunion because i (the minion) made a deal with my friend, the devil

and a few of the best memories during the last SD days transitioning to BA days ...

• my addiction: made a new friend, b, who totally helped me out - physically packing and emotional support (aka - my weakness - the oatmeal-mango cookies from influx)
  
• angst on moving days:
• moving day in SD with long time friend, k, and watching movers leave with my stuff
• met the movers at the BA place
• dinner with friend who was being shipped off to iraq
  

and the day (10/24) i actually left SD with my car packed up

• play-by-play of 10/24 when i headed up to hermosa beach for the night and some pics from the crawl out of SD to the 10/24 drive up
  
• play-by-play of 10/25 and some pics when i headed up via warner bros. and ultimately landed in santa barbara for the 10/26 spa day

and finally, on 10/27 ...last day in santa barbara on little balcony (doing billable work on the phone with billn?!) ...

... RIGHT BEFORE I LEFT SOCAL & DROVE UP TO BA

[see original post here]

and this is me on 10/27 ...

looking back (well, sorta over)
right before i left santa barbara
(on leg 2 of my 3-leg trip from leaving SD on 10/24)

and then arrived in the BA at my destination point when odometer read
