Yesterday was a great day. Started out with some vegetable sushi for lunch that Britton made (he’s getting really good) and ended with fireworks.

We took a bike ride to my parent’s house. They were married 30 years ago on the fourth of July so it was a special 4th.

Well it’s summer time. Got to love riding bikes, going to BBQs and swimming. We rode bikes to our friend’s party last night. We had a good time. I just checked the odometer on my bike and it was 6.5 miles round trip. Cassie can really cruise on her new bike which makes it easier to decide to take a bike. The old one was pretty heavy and inefficient.

Not Rockband- Britton playing “tongs” and Matt on air guitar for the audience
I made some pinchos on the grill (chicken on a stick with a piece of bread at the end). I think though it would make more sense to use a tortilla instead of bread. Next time.
Everyone was afraid to try rockband…Ok not everyone. But singing was definitely something that most people didn’t attempt. It’s fun though, the game tracks your pitch so you need to be somewhat in tune to score points. Cassie sang most of the night.

Well it certainly is less expensive to drive this Corvette than the real thing. I can even race against other people without fear of getting a ticket. I played some games today with my friend who is living/going to school in CA. Xbox live is great for that.
It’s a far cry from what video games looked like when I started playing them back in the days of Atari.
In fact games have gotten to the point where their realism is beginning to cause trouble. In a racing simulation ok, realism is fine with everyone. What about Grand Theft Auto? I know if I had kids I wouldn’t let them play GTA until they were at least what..10?
Oh and Party at Matt’s house tonight! We’ll be playing some Rockband (another video game). We are going to party like rockstars! It’s a sweet game because they did a good job of simulating what it feels like to be in an actual rockband. You have these guitars, drums and a mic. It’s cool and something that everyone can play.
I’ve been riding my bike after lunch back to work pretty much any day I can. Unfortunately, today we had a rainstorm that began right as I was getting off of work. Britton took today off to have a five day weekend, so I asked him to meet me half way. It was not too bad starting out because we had a tail wind, then we turned and had a full head wind to go against.
I got dirt in both of my eyes and with contacts that is not such a great thing because my eyes just suction shut it seems. So I probably looked like a drunk person out there in the wind, rain and hail and Britton yelling, “don’t ride with your eyes shut!” Anyway, we made it back safe and sound, and watched a pretty cool storm roll by once Britton moved the car out of the direct path of the hail.
