July
My week with Al & the band camp gang went well enough. I was pretty cramped as there were like 5 more people living in the house than there were last year. That, and the gang's age averaged out to about 14. It was alright though I got to talk to Uncle Mike about drums and America and the world at large. Al paid me like 150 dollars so that was pretty cool.
Dad showed up late to the show, but that was alright. He missed out!! Nick & Stevi enjoyed riding with him. I think Nick made a special bond w/ the patriarch.
Three generations of Sweeney's were in the bar that night, as Stevi's mom made a cameo, but she didn't even catch on to Stevi and Mimi Sweeney.
The drive to Austin was a milestone of the year.
I was glad to see Uncle Ray and Cousin Hal, though the weekend went off to a bad start. Nick smashed my prized hurricane piece. I'm making sure he gets me something badass for Christmas. We should have just slept.
Hal and Jake kept mostly to themselves. That kids grown up fast he's almost done with HS!!!
Needless to say Uncle Ray's place was badass especially with the new renovations. The salt pool was radical and going out on the lake was a dream. I love Texas!!! I miss my peeps!!!
The week back in Houston was pretty cool. There was a costume party at Nick's for Rose and Kristin. I spent the rest of the week doing the usual break thing; Rushing around hoping to do all the usual stuff, but never getting around to it.
