When Alexander Saw The Breadth Of His Domain, He Wept, For There Were No More Worlds To Conquer

The weekend is upon us, and we are getting ready for an open-air concert this weekend. The weather has been sketchy for the past few days, and rain is expected. We've decided to buy some plastic sheeting  in case it starts pouring on Saturday. The funny thing is that the venue frowns upon smokers (I light the occasional Marlboro), but getting baked on weed is perfectly acceptable.

Last night we watched some more Smallville, Sons Of Anarchy, The Event, and No Ordinary Family. If we get time over the weekend we may  check out a movie, like Red or Life as We Know It.
