As I sit in a damp, red brick building downtown Seattle next to my pile of possessions I notice a roll of thin cardboard, hiding beneath some bags, with random scribbles on it. These are the quotes off of the "quote-boards" from the house on Pepper Drive in El Cajon my roommates and I lived in a two summers ago. They have become tributes to my family of an unforgettable squad and they must be shared. Many who read this will not get the inside humor to the excerpts about to be spilled but the ones who do, this is for you…

So there you have it, documented memories of sunny days gone by. These quote boards will be posted in a fancy museum somewhere in El Cajon, California--next to some painting of a cactus or something, painted by a Mexican farmer--where it all went down, someday. And the names above are all the contributing artists. Farewell, San Diego. I’d say “stay classy San Diego” but that would awfully cliché’, wouldn’t you say, Dr. Seuss.
