Vicia and I did another edition of "Guys and Gals" with her dance team last week at half time during a football game. The theme was bikers versus surfers, and we did dances to "Cruisin' for a Bruisn'", "Surf's Up", and "Surf Crazy". It was fun!

It’s been a really nice weekend. We ate at Cowboys and Indians yesterday and then went to a Juneteenth concert at Miller Outdoor Theater. Earlier today we ate at Clark’s Oyster Bar and then did putt putt golf with our extended family at Puttery. Good times!
