Grilling.

Today, it's a gorgeous 68 degrees here, there's a ton of sunlight in the apartment, and I'm dying for a grill.

I'm honing in on employment...couple of opportunities. No offers yet...but I'm getting letters and calls saying "Don't go anywhere...we definitely want to talk more." I hope that's a good sign.

Anyway, when I get a job, I think the first thing I'm getting is a barbecue. I can't have a charcoal grill, which is kind of a drag...but on the flipside, it's not as much of a hassle. I've been looking at the Weber grills. I don't much about them, it's true, though...so I think I'm falling victim to brand awareness and advertising. Anyone have any opinions/reviews for a good grill?

Right now, I'm making lamb to slice and put in a salad...but how much better would that lamb be if I were grilling it? Man...I really really really want a barbecue. Chicken, lamb, steaks, fish...it's all going to be SO GOOD. I have a deck with an overhang...I can grill any time I want, once I get the thing. I'll probably use it a lot at first. Very exciting.

The second part of the summer deck bonanza will be a hammock. I can't think of anything that would make me happier than chilling on a hammock with a lime soda, smelling the steaks on the grill, sun on my face...eesh. So easy to please....

Now I really really want a job so I can get my grill and hammock......

Oh, and I don't really WANT to stop playing DDO...it's just that the guy I was playing with quit videogames altogether...and DDO is definitely not a solo players' game. So I guess I'll hold onto it a bit until I really need a change of pace, and jump into it again. Unfortunate. DDO is a really fun game.
