A little FYI: Sitting in my house, sipping rum & cokes naked as I write this.
Solid good month of July. Spent the week of the Independence Day in the city of Las Vegas. A few friends that I know live there, so two of my friends and I drove up there in the early morning hours. Stayed over at one of my close friend's father's houses in North Vegas. House was way cool; pool in the back so that we could all chill out and drink underneath the hot July sun. From the back wall, there was pretty much a clear shot out to the Strip, meaning that come July 4th, we were able to see all of the fireworks emulating from that area. Very nice way to celebrate the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
Drove home immediately following the holiday, but then had to complete laundry and packing for another little vacation.
Spent about a week or so in the Yosemite Valley. Camping, hiking, roasting food, bear sighting, sight-seeing, exploring. Very good times. Since I have never visited Yosemite National Park, it was a solid trip to break me in. Hope to return some time in the near future...
Following the camping, returned home and flew up to Sacramento about two days later. Spent a week visiting with family. Explored the near region of NorCal. Wine-tasting, boating, jumping off of bridges, swimming, tanning, chilling, seeing Old Town Sac, softball, etc. Nice, relaxing time with some of the family. Always good to see them.
Returned home just in time to see July come to a close.
Heard of the death of a friend's father. Attended the funeral and service, along with making several visitations to the family. Friend is a Mormon missionary; came home for a few days in order to see his father put to rest. Very good service. Took some of his family and our friends out to dinner last night, my treat. Today he flies back to continue his mission for a several more months. We await his final return...
Currently I am awaiting the start of the next semester of school. 16 units of classes will most definitely keep me busy beyond most means. Can't wait. Meanwhile, looking for a new job, and enough money to find a car to replace the non-existent one that I have right now...
