Yesterday (e:Terry), (e:Paul) and I went down after the pouring stopped to go to the first square of the year. Shaggy was playing - not only was he really bad (half the songs were him talking over other top 40 songs), he thought he was in Albany. The music might have been better after but we left to make dinner.

Another month, another bierklub. This month had a bunch of pale ales, and a few IPAs. The weirdest was probably a pineapple beer - it was so sweet and light it might as well have been a wine cooler. After, we got back and played bocce (better than board games to me).

Last night we headed over to my parents' for Daniel's 18th birthday. It was actually on June 1st, but they were in NYC for the Colbert Report and Daily Show that weekend.

My mom made kebobs, quinoa and fruit salad, stuffed shells, and then we had three different desserts. I tried to make goat cheese brownies, but the goat cheese I bought had thyme in it. Instead, I just made regular ones.


The grass I planted last year is sort of alive!

Cake - I wish I recorded it because birthday cake and candles makes Midnight bark along to "happy birthday"

Basra is a lot smarter than you'd think. I came home to find that he has moved the canoe right up against the wood barrier and started banging it open. Soon enough he'll be able to climb out if we don't reinforce it - he can't be tamed.


He's also a huge bastard. He ripped open this bag of wood chips and spread it all over the yard.

Last night, (e:terry) and I made burritos again, and had dinner with (e:heidi), (e:dianne) and (e:yesthatcasey). They turned out even better than last time I think - I really need to switch my protein source to more beans.







In the morning, Terry showed me how to make his cheesy eggs.
