Had some friends over tonight for a BBQ over this 4th of July weekend. Since I was given a reprieve from work today, and have tomorrow off, today is sort of like Saturday part 3. Hooray!
After spending several hours in the heat yesterday working on the yard I took it pretty easy today, not doing very much but picking up my buddy Ghost Dog and running to the Beer Heaven of Portland (also known as John’s Marketplace) to pick up some unusual and imported beers for the night. I love the place, the store has racks divided by country, German, English, Belgian, Polish, Russian, etc. The beer selection is something to marvel at. I do wish there was a bigger British beer selection, but the store can only get what is imported and distributed to Portland, so what can they do?
The BBQ was a blast; cooked loads of meats, drank loads of beers (including some porter that our friend Miranda brought from Laurelwood Brewery, which is delicious), and had a fantastic time.

Had an awesome time, as usual! You guys throw the best parties! Just haven’t gotten ’round to blogging about it. Probably when I get home from work tonite.
Just read your entry tonight after getting home from having dinner with Deb and Brendle. We played a fun game called Squint which involves cards with different fragmented images that are used to “form” you word clue. Kind of like Pictionary but no drawing. Anyhow, I had a great time at your BBQ also, it was fun to see everyone.
