Ants on the Melon

Brandon came over last night for our second evening of “cigars and string theory.” A few months ago we invited him over for dinner, along with Todd, another friend of ours, and after dinner Alana and Todd went to see a movie while Brandon and I stayed at the house and smoked cigars on the front porch. Two weeks ago we were able to hang out again, and after enjoying cigars we decided to begin watching The Elegant Universe, which I had recently bought on DVD. Since these evenings are so much fun, we decided to try to hang out more often. So last night we grabbed a Double Dave’s Pizza, a few good beers, several Punch Maduro cigars and headed for the front porch to relax and talk. After several hours and many great conversations we came inside to begin watching the second episode of The Elegant Universe, which is an introduction to String Theory. Mind boggling stuff, but extremely fascinating. I really enjoy this “guy time.”

Tonight I went over to Pepper and Ethan’s house to play dork cards, another weekly ritual that I enjoy. Jason and Josh were there again this week, which is great because everyone is really funny and we always have a great time making fun of how dorky we are being.
