Big 16

Sam turned the big 1-6 this weekend, which meant we had our annual "boys come over, eat lots of junk, play lots of Playstation, and stay up all night" jaunt. We started out the day by opening one present (a new cell phone), working a band event until noon, then hitting the movie theater in the afternoon to see Spiderman-3. Very good movie, I won't spoil the ending for you by saying who dies.

Four friends came over, which effectively doubled the hormone level in the house, and we spent the evening playing basketball, eating lots of pizza bagels, pizza rolls, and taquitos, and then having some pineapple upside-down cake before opening more presents. Two kids ended up spending the night, so the Playstation, PS2, Gameboy-fest was on. One of his friends declared that "you haven't lived until you have stayed up all night".. - Sam remembered the 23 hour stint we pulled for tournament, so wasn't buying it. He and Kevin conked out at 12:30, and when I got up at 3am, there were two kids still battling it out on some video game. They crashed on the hardwood floor at 4:30 and woke up at 7:30 when everyone else was climbing over them in the living room. Wonder if they still felt like they had "lived".

No license is in the works just yet, so for the time being we all are still safe on the roads...

RJ is doing well, he is off all the medications except for one for arrythmia and aspirin. Two a day from now on - yea!! His cardiologist agreed with keeping him out of work longer due to his job duties, so he is targeting returning to work around the 3rd week of June. We went back to church this morning for the first time in five weeks, it was a nice return to some more routine.
