Last Saturday I went to my first baby shower. Yep, it was a co-ed baby shower. My friends Arthur and France are having a baby. I think the baby is due December 6th. Some of you IBC people might know Arthur and France since they helped babysit at our church retreat last year. Here's a pic:





We ate, played games, and saw a slideshow. It was good to hang with them, even if it was only for a couple hours. After the baby shower Shel and I went for some Mexican food. How could we not? It's not often that we go to San Diego. So we went to a UCSD hotspot (yep, Coti's). I got my usual carne asada burrito and Shel got the Cotixan fries (carne asada, guacamole, and cheese). Sorry, no pic. It was good but I don't think that it's that much better than what we can get in LA. Sorry if I offended any of you San Diegans. Maybe you have some other recommendations?

Oh, one more thing. I recently realized something about myself. I'm a Mac!
