Happy 4th of July Weekend
I just want to wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July weekend. It's hotter than a motha down here, but I love it. While most people are bitchin and lookin for the coldest blowing A/C, I'm cruisin town with the windows down. Don't get me wrong, I wish it would rain soon around here, but I'm also thankful for the sun.
It's nice having this long weekend cuz I really haven't done squat. I got home from work about 6:30 Friday morning and slept for like 4 hours. Then I woke up and took my mom to lunch. After lunch, I went to Frys and bought the new Dave Matthews CD. In case you don't know, I've been Dave-a-cised by Jersey. I must admit, the whole CD is good. Now I'm trying to collect as many of his songs as I can. Weird, huh? Now all I've got to do is turn her into a country music fan. We'll see how that goes.
We went down to Gruene last night and the food and music was great. First, we went to The Grist Mill where I enjoyed the chicken fried steak. Their gravy was so thick and the fries were awesome. Most of all, the atmosphere is nice as you eat while overlooking the serene Guadalupe River. Then we went next door to the legendary Gruene Hall for some wonderful music by Rotel and the Hot Tomatoes. This band, well, namely the drummer Jim, and the guitarist, Phil, are friends of my family, so we go out and support them every chance we get. The place was hot, but it was cool being in a place where so many legends have played over the last 30 years. The beer was warm, the room was hot, but for the most part, the girls were not.
Now it's Sunday and I'm not planning much of anything. I'm thinking about going to a party over at some friends' house with Stacey and Roland and pop some fireworks. That sounds like fun. Oh well, everyone be safe and I'll blog tomorrow or later.
