Weekend update

This summer looks to be filled with BBQs, parties, weddings and beach trips. California's weather lends itself to such events in this particular season.

Saturday, Laura and I went to a friend's (Dave) "surprise" birthday party. I say "surprise" because he wasn't surprised at all, as his girlfriend left the Evite logged on on his computer, so he found out way in advance. The only unusual characteristic of this party is that we got to peg the birthday boy with quite a number of water balloons. (This stems from history; Dave has done quite a number of hazing-type activities on other people's birthdays over the years, so it was payback time.)

After the group games, I felt incredibly sick because my asthma started acting up. It's a slight case, so I don't have an inhaler. One of my other friends suggested that I should keep a (standard prescription) inhaler around for such occasions. I wonder if that's a good idea; I thought you needed to have a certain prescription to use an inhaler.
