I'm an Alien, but I'm pretty American.

Memorial Day... I slept in until Scott called me in the morning.  He was driving to his (can you believe it?) JOB in Indiana.  It was strange to wake up to the notion of not spending Memorial Day without your best friends with a pool nearby, someone's parents sweating over the grill, etc.

However.  I had a relaxing afternoon with Lauren and John, sipping Harpoon at the local Curtis' BBQ.

Near the grill was a bird and his cowboy who sang and played the guitar, while the locals devoured piles of ribs with collared greens and corn on the cob.  I had their homemade cream soda and it was mm mm perfect!

Lauren and John showed me their adorably quaint apartment.  And since I've been starving for canine companionship, meeting their Yorkie, Herbie, was awesome.  I snapped this picture and later thought, These two are like Lauren's Jason and Robin!  I'm missing my family very much.
