My, what a great start to our weekend Summerbash! Last night, after much planning and preparation, the party for Kevin's 33rd year of walking around began. The festivites began slowly, as we were joined first by Dave, then later Allison and Shaun. Other guests arrived, including the margarita machine, Mark and Matt, and (very very much ) later Erica and Amanda. There was sing along (like I don't get enough of that) there was art making, there was fire. There was a lot of imbibing of the sweet nectar. There was frivolity, there was hilarity, there was fun. Now, I am gonna go make breakfast and wake everyone up. Later, there will be tubing. LOOK OUT! No really, look out, tubes can be dangerous.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Truer words were never spoken. Zuzia's back, and I missed her a lot more than I thought I did. She cut her hair while she was gone, she looks great, I am acting like a complete dork but don't care. It's really wonderful to see her.

Plus, she brought me some liquor. Partygoers will all get a sample of the finest Polish Vodka in the world.

Welcome back, Zuzia!
