I'm on vacation for the next week, and by god it has been lovely so far. The weather has been a peach. Saturday was my bike to the Bratfest trip. Sunday I grilled out in my own backyard.

Yesterday I went to a Memorial Day barbeque thrown by some friends that I hadn't seen in forever. Not only did I get to catch up, but there was so much food that we all absolutely gorged ourselves till long after nightfall.

Tonight, I went out to Quivey's Grove were they, along with WMMM, were kicking off their Tuesday night blues series. There were free brats with coleslaw and potato salad, plus samples of New Glarus beer. The brats had been freshly made this morning, and were honestly the best of all the brats I've had these past few days. Heavenly. West Side Andy (Linderman) and Glenn Davis provided the music. What a way to spend the evening.

Tomorrow I'm going to be subbing for a class of sixth graders, but I believe I shall survive that with too many scars. After that, who knows what the week will hold?
