Friday Fragments

out of time and out of clothes

♠ We're back from our quickie trip down to Emerald Isle, NC where we enjoyed the beach with Sam and Kristen. Mid-September is the perfect time to hit Atlantic beaches, since the beach is mild, the water is hot, and the kids are all back in school (except for the surprising number we saw on the first Friday morning who were obviously truant and/or home-schooled).

♠ Overall, Emerald Isle was nice, but on par with the Outer Banks, which are an hour and a half closer. Since I am still in the mindset where time in the car equates to time not at the beach, and not "another part of the vacation to be enjoyed", reduced travel time always adds bonus points, unless your beach is orange and foamy (sorry Virginia Beach, you are permanently off the vacation list).

♠ Plans for the weekend include a regathering of the long-inert Beer Club on Saturday night, as well as some continued work on DDMSence 1.7.0. I may also take advantage of our recent beautiful weather by staying indoors and playing Starcraft tonight.

♠ Have a great weekend!
