“The mountain air is full of song – it’s Saturday night!”

So next time I have a big party, someone remind me to buy about a third to a half of as much food as I usually do. I ended up giving away two cases of beer, and still had a watermelon vodka, a bunch of veggies, loads of chicken, and lots of oatmeal raisin cookies left.

Thanks for coming, everyone. It was great to see you all again. I want to do another one soon.

And big ups to my neighbors for letting me use their brand new grill. And big thanks to Alan for staying to help clean up.

Bird tomorrow at 19h30 for those concerned with such matters.
