Celebration weekened

There's something really special about this weekend. It seems the stars have aligned to produce a near-perfect confluence of enjoyment. Let's count the factors:

1. Birthday party! The kids will have their shared birthday party tomorrow morning. Subfactors: (a) It's a slacker party at a local public park with a game exchange instead of present-giving. (b) Tomorrow is going to be the nicest day of summer in weeks, with temperatures in the low eighties and plenty of sunshine.


2. Tarantino! His new film has generated plenty of heated disagreement, which makes me eager to see it for myself.


3. No class! Since classes have started, I feel a great sense of freedom on the weekend when school is not in session. Yet since classes have just started, I don't have any work to do to prepare for next week. Win-win!
