San Diego 1 - Pittsburgh 0

I'm a 49ers fan, but since my teams are lousy I've been watching the Chargers games this year. Last Sunday I was watching the Chargers-Steelers game. Right now, I'm watching the Steelers-Ravens game (with the winner going to the Super Bowl). You might feel bad for the Chargers fans because the Steelers knocked them out of the playoffs, but don't.

Currently in the Steelers game, there are snow flakes falling. It's not heavy snow, but that does mean it's less than 32 degrees in Pittsburgh. Let's compare this with San Diego.

Today I went to the beach. At 11am it was about 75 degrees, sunny and decent waves (though I didn't surf). After enjoying the beach for a couple of hours Erin and I walked over to The Cheese Shop and grabbed a couple of sandwiches and snacks. We then headed back to the beach and ate while sitting on the wall on the board walk.

After I got home I was exhausted by my time at the beach so I opened the window in our apartment and then napped for a while.

After waking up I went for a run. It was still about 70 degrees out and when I got to the top of La Jolla Scenic drive I was welcomed by one of the best sunsets I've ever seen. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera but it was a great combination of colors in the sky, the blue ocean and the sun ducking behind Mt. Soledad. Here is the view using Google Street View.

So, no matter what happens in the game, I say San Diego is the big winner this winter, and next winter, and every winter. Remember that Steelers fans when you are freezing your asses off.

Yes, you do live the life. Not that you needed external confirmation of that fact.
