Summery Doings
I finished pencilling page 18 of the comic this weekend. Inks this week. Lettering is already done in the computer. Yay.
And today I met
sdskuld in Del Mar to watch the Spreckles Cup Polo Semi-Finals. (Flickr set here.) I find it ironic that while tickets for traditionally blue-collar sports like basketball or hockey cost upwards of sixty or seventy bucks for third-rate seats, I can pay ten bucks at the Del Mar polo grounds and set up a chair right next to the pitch to watch the Sport of Kings, where the action is sometimes only ten feet away. Plus: horses. Did I mention that horses are awesome? Even more awesome than former speaker of the House Dennis Hastert throwing out the first ball (which wasn't really all that awesome).
I think I'm going to make a Bingo game to play with the announcer's tired old witticisms. Today's scores, 'Plenty of sail, but not enough rudder;' 'son of a biscuit;' 'no es bueno.'
Lunch at Milton's Deli (chicken soup with kreplach), and supper at Pizza Port in Solana Beach (pizza with Canadian bacon, pepperoni, onion and green pepper). Plus I passed two Lamborginis on the way home in my Prius. I'll call the day a success.
