This past weekend was nice and relaxing. I watched 3 movies (which, if you know me, must be some sort of record): American History X, Girl With a Pearl Earring, and Waiting for Guffman. All three were very good, and it was nice because they were three very different movies.

Yesterday afternoon, Cheryl and I decided spur-of-the-moment that we wanted to have a Memorial Day barbecue. After a bit of panic about the fact that we have no idea how to barbecue things (Aaren eventually came over to help us), we went to the grocery store and bought some chicken and sausages. We also grilled some sweet corn that Mariel and I had bought at the Farmer’s Market over the weekend. All in all, it was quite good for an impromptu barbecue.
