I not only barbecued a steak for dinner, we ate outside. It probably would be better to eat lunch outside, given that once the sun was going down it dropped at least 10 or 15 degrees in half an hour. But it doesn’t matter – we ate outside and it was heavenly. Blue blue blue skies, the color you never get in the summer because of the damned smog and humidity. The back yard has dried up a lot in the past two days, so Junior got to run around for a while. Oh, and today we went with my parent’s to buy his (belated) birthday present – a new bike. We needed to upgrade him from his original 12 in bike to a 16 inch. He ended up with a red Huffy from WalMart. Maybe he’ll be more into it this year, but last year he wasn’t much into riding his bike, so we certainly weren’t going to pay a lot of money for a lot of bells and whistles. Plenty of time for that with his next bike, anyway. At five, we’re just going to work on getting the training wheels off.
