The 4th; Thom's visit

7/2

Dropped Bryan off at the Airport, receipts off at Rice, then headed in to school.

7/3

Band practice, then Cindy & I squeezed in some Sopranos since the next day was a holiday.

7/4

I had intended to hit a couple of 4th of July parties, but I hadn't logged much time on Resident Evil since getting back from California, so I ended up spending a good portion of the day on that. Cindy and I made dinner once she got done in lab; either steak or something Greek-ish, I can't remember...

7/5

For 7-year-old Ward, we went and saw Transformers. The parts that involved giant robots kicking each others' asses were awesome; the parts that involved people talking or situational giant robot comedy were not. But my inner 7-year-old was happy.

7/6

Thom was in for a wedding. We did Goode Co. BBQ for dinner before retiring to Hans' for beer.

7/7

Since Texadelphia hasn't made it to Boston yet, we went there for lunch. Thom and co. spent part of the afternoon getting ready for the wedding, while I played more Resident Evil (pretty much a full blown addiction by that point). When the guys got back from the wedding, there had been some vomit-based collateral damage to Thom's grandparents' Buick, so he got that cleaned up and we all had some Shiners. Except for Dave (not that Dave), who was pretty much passed out by that point.

7/8

We hit Star Pizza for lunch, and Cindy & I went to Rudz for drinks later that evening.
