Friday and Saturday

This weekend was spectacular.

Friday about fifteen or so people from 12 went out to celebrate our morning weather girl's, Kristen's, birthday. We went to Four Daughters, the Irish Pub where I usually play trivia then to Howiee's for a few more drinks and good music. We closed Howiee's down at 2.

Saturday I spent the morning running errands, getting a haircut, and having lunch at Costco with Faris. After a quick swim and quick nap, I went to a barbecue hosted by the anchor of channel 5. There was a good mix of 12ers and 5ers there and we ate burgers and watched the Giants game (extra innings win!) and hung out in the backyard.

One of the more memorable parts of the night came when rain started coming down from the sky. It was a little at first, then got more heavy. It was still in the 80s, so no one ran for cover. In the Eastern distance, lightening lit up the sky for at least 15 minutes. The silhouette of one of the mountains was lit up while lightening struck behind it. It was pretty cool.

Friday and Saturday were fun, but Sunday was even better...
