Anything to avoid the heat
This weekend we were challenged to find anything entertaining to do away from the house that involved air conditioning or water.
Since everyone and their grandmother were on their way to the beach, thereby clogging our freeways and preventing us locals from actually availing ourselves of them when they're most enjoyable, we decided water should be had elsewhere. Saturday involved a trip to the pool at the office. Yes, indeed, Rebecca could actually be seen in a bathing suit in a public place. It's been about 10 years, but heat won out. After the pool, Anthony was kind enough to watch Nikolai so Melissa and I could go to a movie together. We saw Pirates 2, after a wonderful lunch/dinner at In Vino Veritas (for those of you lunchers who have not been to In Vino Veritas for dinner, I highly recommend it...it puts lunches there to shame). Melissa asked me what she could order on the menu that would be a small meal, and I responded saying that the meals were generally pretty small there and so she shouldn't worry about it too much. She was absolutely mortified when they brought her Medeterranean meal out and it was in a bowl about half as big as the table. For some reason she thought this was my fault.
On Sunday we skipped the pool adventure, and Anthony and I went to see a movie together. We saw Monster House, which I really don't recommend. I might have chuckled a few times, but it was mostly lacking in the general "entertainment" category. We had a great chuckle when I told Anthony he should work at taco bell. He'd have free food and his life would be so great (for those of you who don't know, taco bell is just about the only thing anthony will eat consistently), and his response was "Would you like fries with that?"
