Because of the nice weather, tonight was host to the first cookout of 2003.

The first cookout is fun for a couple of reasons. First, you get to stand on the driveway and drink a beer outside. Figure it's probably been a good couple of months without an outside beer, so the first one's always a treat.

Next, while drinking that beer - and tending the fire - you also get a chance to poke around the garage a little bit. During the winter, a detached garage is hardly a place you want to spend any real time. As a result, you forget about all kinds of fun stuff that you put in there last fall before the winter hit. Stuff like fireworks, for example. And really, who doesn't like fireworks?

Lastly, the first grill is fun because it officially ushers in a new season of ripping on people for slicing completely through the hot dog buns. Oops.

On a non-braai note, the new formfactor for the Gameboy Advance looks pretty frickin' sweet. I think I might get one.
