Because we didn't think it was nearly hot enough yesterday, we headed out to the county fair, where it was even hotter! There were plenty of sights to see and much people-watching to be done. Even though we used sunscreen, we still have minor sunburns to show for it.

We watched a couple of episodes of Dexter last night. It's gotten a bunch of great press and tons of accolades, but we're just finally getting around to it. It's pretty good and looks promising so far ...

Labor Day weekend is winding down, so we're heading back home tonight. It's been good to get away, but it'll be even better to go home and plop ourselves on the couch!

Some Men In This World Are Born To Do Our Unpleasant Jobs For Us

Yesterday's visit to Medieval Times was a total bust. I did not enjoy it at all. As a kid, I had gone to a similar spectacle in France where the performers were actually wearing full-body armor and doing real jousting and combat for the duration of the event. The Medieval Times people make WWE look like the real deal, and the two-hour show was mostly filled with failed attempts at a story, some horse tricks, about 20 minutes of sword fighting and laughable acting. Well, at least the food was half decent ....

We also watched It Might Get Loud, a movie with guitar heroes Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), The Edge (U2) and Jack White (White Stripes) talking about their love for the electric guitar and how it all got started for each individual. It was definitely a joy to see Jimmy Page at work, and it was easy to see that the others were awed to be in the presence of such a legend.
