Well, today was all about my Dad and seeing where he grew up here in Des Moines. First we went to Aunt Minnie's house (?). We then went over to Aunt Hey's house (again ?). From there we went over to the Govenors mansion and the Clear Channel office that is just a block away from the mansion. We then went to the state capitol (we were there late last night, and were tailed by a Iowa State Patrol cause we pulled into the service driveway for too long apperantly, we only took two photos). After that we went to my dad's old neighborhood and found where he used to live and where he used to go to school. From there it was only two blocks to the Iowa State Fairgrounds. Mom found a bead store and went into the store with Dad, while they were inside, I stayed in the car and listened to San Diego traffic and weather on Sirius satalite radio in the rental car, it was cool to hear what was going on back home.
We went to dinner at Applebees around the corner from the hotel. After that we decided to take a look around a Super Target. Then I came back to the hotel, and getting ready to take off to go to Omaha and Council Bluffs.

Wow, what a couple of days
Greetings and welcome to bog 1.004, this bog will be on press conferences, games, and traffic.
First press conferences, I have been to a boat load in the last couple of days. First we had the post-game conference at the SDSU men's game against Navy, then the post-game at the SDSU women's game (interesting note coming on that), and then today with the Poinsettia Bowl conference this morning, and the weekly Aztecs conference at Cox Arena (I kind of feel like I have been living there the last few days).
The note on the SDSU women's game is this. The Naval academy women's basketball team got into San Diego on Sunday. For dinner on Sunday they went to a Mexican restaurant in Mission Valley (I will not say which one on here as it would get me into trouble). The entire team, including the coaches, got food poisoning. So with that in mind, the entire team ran into the locker room after the game. For those who don't know the traditions with any service academy they always stay after the game to hear the alma mater played by the band. I had the EXTREME honor of being asked by the Capt. of the basketball team to stand in for the team during the alma mater. At the conclusion of the alma mater, I yelled as loud as I could the final two words of the song, "BEAT ARMY"! I personally went through the entire band, and thanked them for their service to the country, and they all thanked me for doing so.
The games that I have been to in the last few days includes both sides of the Aztecs vs. Navy battle (both games went to SDSU, BTW).
Traffic, say, has anyone in San Diego ever thought about oh, I don't know, BEING COURTIOUS????????? I would have to say no from what I can see here lately. If the driver in front of you needs to get in, let them, who knows, maybe the next time that you need to get in you will be able to do so.
