So, I'll start off with this: I've been fighting a cold for about 7 days now. It started with a sore throat, then moved on to general muscle aches and pain plus nasal congestion. The nasal congestion remained while the muscle aches progressed to sinus headaches that became more intense as each afternoon progressed. I had a bunch of OTC cold medicine that has the new phenylephrine drug since places can't sell pseudoephedrine without you signing the Meth Log Book. That was minorly effective, and allowed me to at least function on a basic level. I used the last of it last night, and rummaged through my shaving kit to see if I had anything else. I found a good old fashioned Cold and Sinus pill with pseudoephedrine, and wow that worked so much better than the phenylephrine. So I went to Smith's and signed my name in the government druggie book and got me some good pseudoephedrine and have felt pretty good all day long.

Anyways, back to the topic of the post. Megan and Chad came over today after work to have some 4th of July steak, Guitar Hero, then to watch the Stadium of Fire fireworks, and then to hone are wizardry skills.

Here we are waiting for the fireworks to start. We sat up on the mountain side above the Lookout Point apartment complex.


As I said, then we came back and practiced our magic skills. We started out with basic magical shapes like stars:

Megan's Star:


Josh's Star:


Then we moved on to spirals:

Josh's Spiral:


Kyle's Spiral:



Things started to get more advanced as Megan tried to open some kind of portal:


We all felt Chad was doing fairly well with his work considering he clearly has no right arm:





Josh started branching out with attempts to create electron clouds:


and then he worked on his Astral Projection:



The portal Megan previously opened apparently gave her the ability to write letters with both hands, specifically her new initials:




All in all it was a fun evening.
