Value of a good weekend

Never under estimate the value of a good weekend. This weekend was spent enjoying friends, fellowship, and food the 3 most important pillars of a good life. To give our life support a fourth pillar and in keeping with the "f" theme, I chose "fire" as the final pillar- refer to Noteworthy posts 1 and 2 below.

Friday evening the wife and I grabbed some Mehican from a local joint, and teamed up with our friends from bloggingpantsless (Mr. and Mrs. Mackalicious) to do so. We wanted to check out Mackie's new ride, but we always look for an excuse to spend a few hours with the Mackies, and it's always time well spent. We spent 30 minutes outside in the freezing rain only to be seated at a tiny 4-top table directly under the air conditioner (which was on) and a full speed ahead ceiling fan. Adding to our comfort was the unmistakeable aroma of burnt fajitas and so much smoke I had to resist the temptation on hit the deck and military crawl to the nearest exit. But as is always this case at this restaurante, dinner was excellent.

Saturday evening, included a large dose of birth control and more friendly fellowship. The Mrs. and I invited some law school buddies over for a cook-out, turned cook-in thanks to the weather. Again, great people that we love spending time with. We were worried about how we would keep everyone entertained, particularly 4 boys (7 months, 2, 4, and 6 ish), because our childless home is mostly devoid of toys. Never fret, 4 boys together are plenty of entertainment for all. Through a 15 month old puppy in the mix and we were set! Great times, good food and don't let the "birth control" comment fool you, the boys were good too.

Sunday, car show. My college roommate and I made our 7th annual trip to AJC International Car Show. If you haven't been, GO! We're kind of in the market for a new car, so this year was an awesome opportunity to check out every model without sales people. Top it off with a stop at the Varsity and a F.O. What a weekend.

We're beach bound for the rest of the week, but I'll try to get some posts together on the The Big March Madness Bracketology Dance between moments of sun and sand.
