Weekend synopsis: Happy Birthday Vern

From bowling to last call, this weekend was all about celebrating my roommate Vernon Jones' 27th birthday. The man's disheveled, constant drunkenness is an amazing feat of stamina, and this weekend was the pinnacle. Today, in fact this afternoon, I was body slammed, picked up by Vern and mid-rise dropped to the floor while watching TV in my pajamas -- these are the sure signs of Vern's love I endure. Aaron Knight, Vern's good pal from Cleveland, is in town to help celebrate, which we did to the fullest. Thanks to Vern, and his fine taste in whiskey, Dublin is dry, and smiles are beaming all around. Happy birthday, dick!
