Our wedding anniversary was nice, with good weather and the day off work for the wife. We ran some errands since we were out of town last week, watched
The Final Destination just in time to attend the
Final Destination 5 advance premiere on Wednesday, and also checked out the latest episodes of Falling Skies.
Been playing some Darkfall, and while the game is quite interesting despite its somewhat dated graphics, it's also pretty brutal, especially when you get ganked by another player and your loot and mount get jacked. That hurts ....

Home Sweet Home!
We made it back safe and sound, although when we were boarding the second leg of the flight, it didn't look like it. All of a sudden, the security people were doing spot-checks at the gate — only looking for a male, it seems — and three agents were scanning the crowd for somebody. It made everybody in line quite uneasy!
Today also marks our ninth wedding anniversary, so props go to my better half for putting up with my antics for all these years, and hopefully many more to follow! :)

Today is the last day of our little trip, and we're flying back home tonight. The weather has been excellent, hovering around 90°F/30°C most of the time. It's a little humid and some clouds, so the sun wasn't constantly beating down.
Last night, we saw Horrible Bosses, and it was quite good. We were afraid that the best parts had already been shown in the trailer and there wouldn't be anything left to laugh over, but that was clearly not the case. Good stuff ...
No big plans today apart from buying some cheese and visiting a local vineyard, so it should be nice and relaxing.
