Happy Memorial Day! Its the first vacation day of the year from work. Its about time.

This is my friend John. He is moving to Maryland in a week, so we're having a going away party in his pool. (Laurie is in the back trying to hide.) I'm going to miss John. We met the first week of college, back in 1998. We've been friends ever since, pretty close friends at that. At least we'll still have IM.

And hanging out in the pool, grilling food, and relaxing with friends was a great way to spend the day.
