Since graduating from college, my only planned trips back home to CA have been around Christmas time. This year was no different. I was home from Dec 20th til Dec 29th. It went by so fast. It started off a little bumpy. The TSA employees took forever to get our luggage on the plane so our departure was delayed 45 minutes. That turned out to be just long enough for me to miss my connecting flight in Denver. So I had to catch the next flight which was almost a 3 hour wait. I filled time by watching some episodes from the first season of The Boondocks. And then came the proposition.

Some guy kept looking at me and he looked familiar. I thought he was a football referee from our conference so I asked him and he took it as his chance to strike up a conversation. It wasn't the referee by the way. He moved closer by one seat and we began chatting away. Eventually, I asked if he had kids and he responded with, "No. I'm gay." I'm not a homophobe so we kept talking. I think he was fishing to see if I had any interest. He threw some flattering comments my way. One unforgettable quote was, "... a cute guy like you with a smile like that... how do you stay single?" This guy was a very wealthy, older guy. After I watched his luggage while he used the restroom, some kid took his seat. So when he returned, he grabbed his stuff and came over and asked if I'd like him to fly me out to New York for a trip some time. I politely declined.

The rest of my trip was clubbing with family and friends, Monday Night Football game to watch the Chargers and Broncos, Holiday Bowl to watch Texas and ASU, hanging out with friends & family, and of course eating all the tasty food that adds some junk to that trunk. I miss the real Mexican food. I got a new video camera. Hopefully someone does something stupid so I can catch it and post it on YouTube.
