My Fourth Post

So I had a great 4th of July weekend.

I have two black lab mixes, and I gave them a good walk - and then made my way to the Tri-Cities to meet with some friends.

We ate BBQ and went for a swim. We really made some waves! Er ... nevermind.

We picked up a randomly related child once it was dark (Pam's nephew?) and went out to Clover Island to watch the fireworks from way too far away. That was OK though, it was pretty comfy.

The dogs were tranq'ed against fireworks, but there was some sort of dosage problem, and one of them was up and about for almost 6 hours before she hit the floor! And wow, she hit it hard. I'm really glad I was able to leave them with my parents. They'd have freaked out ... and no, I'm not the guy that worries more about his furniture than his pets.

The next day was just as good for me. We ate lunch at IHOP - got some pizza for dinner - and managed to hit the pool again.

We also saw Jumper - good movie. Excellent number of Marvel Comics references. Plus Samuel L Jackson is a kick-ass kind of guy.
