Things To Do In San Diego: Tuesday, April 2-Monday, April 8, 2019

The other day I read an article about a guy who intentionally wrote fake news and while fascinating and infuriating, the first sentence left me a little stunned.

Jestin Coler seems like your run-of-the-mill middle-aged guy.
The 42-year-old lives on a quiet street in a Los Angeles suburb with his wife and two kids.

Wait, back up. 42 is middle-aged? That's my age, and I definitely don't think of myself as middle-aged, nor do I feel that way. But I guess in a purely mathematical sense it's accurate. But lately I've been feeling younger than ever. We're hiking and walking a ton, checking out favorite spots and discovering new ones, and I've just been trying to lead a less vampire-y life. So last week we went out to Slot Canyon in Ocotillo Wells, except I went out to the Office afterward, and maybe it wore me down because then I was sick for the rest of the week. On top of that, my dog sprained her leg and Darren broke a rib at soccer, so we didn't really do much the rest of the week as we all convalesced, until I had to work at the Irenic on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We did get out for a few hours on Saturday we did go to Balboa Park in the morning for Nova's first futsal game then back a couple hours later for a kiddo's birthday party.
This week I'll be downing the Airborne™, shooting Bad Suns at the Observatory, seeing Girlpool at the Casbah, and then hopefully back to healthy enough to get some sunshine.
Full listings through Monday are after the jump.
