Used to live in Aliso, then Laguna Niguel (was out there for nearly 7 years). Moved back to Texas in March '05.
Was back out to see the in-laws & wife's family over Turkey Day in San Clemente & Capo Beach. What's up with the evergreen trees along Pacific Park from La Paz to Aliso Creek. Everything is dead or dying.
Ladera has grown up a lot. Wow. I knew it was coming on, but it's more congested than Aliso and took less time to get there.
BTW, you are indeed correct. There are a lot of SMU alum out there, and alumni functions tended to get some play (especially the B-school), but it was nowhere near the numbers that could've shown up. Part of it, I think, is drive time. There is a house in Nellie Gail overlooking the 5 between Oso & Crown Valley that around Sept/Oct hangs their SMU flags up. I met the folks around Halloween a couple of years ago. Their daughter attends SMU...should be a senior by now, I think. My oldest son (9) even played Pop Warner with a kid whose mom was at SMU four or five years ahead of me. I guess my point is why don't all of you hook up for a beer. I met LA Mustang that way in Long Beach.
