A Dumb, Fun Summer Night Is All!

"Don't you just love racing early in the morning than having the rest of the day and night to goof around?" I told McIntire who nodded in agreement.



After the race for a post-race breakfast, an impromptu decision was made to stop by Brandy's Restaurant and Bakery which so happened to be featured on the Food Networks' "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" hosted by Guy Fieri. With sweet potato, french fries on the menu, we quickly switched to lunch for their amazing sandwiches, fries and a post-race beer. Clearly, a wise decision.



By mid-afternoon the clouds parted, the temperatures rose and pushed Cleveland back to where it belong in Ohio, thereby returning Summer to Flagstaff. After a long nap, it was time to enjoy the city by meeting a couple of friends for drinks and appetizers at Monsoons prior to seeing a play,"Expecting Isabelle", at the community playhouse, Theatrikos Theater Company.





"Expecting Isabelle" was a fast-paced, humorous play about infertility and the quest for a baby. There was a tearjerker moment but being a manly, man, I quickly recovered clenching my eye lids shut to prevent the waterfall.

Summer did arrive as evident of the Fajita Cook-off festival across the street with a trumpet playing band with their notes penetrating the theater's wall. Throughout the play, I thought the south of the border,music was an odd choice for the play until intermission when we exited the playhouse to see the bright lighted, festivities occurring across the street. "We have to hit that after the play!" I said. And, we did.

By the end of the night after a few beers and some sort of Irish shot ordered for all of us, I transformed into "Planner Man" with his Super Hero Mexican Wrestlers cohorts. Using our "police powers", we saved the citizenry by enforcing public welfare, security, morality and safety. Well, maybe not the morality portion as the bar photo shot infers we're a little loose on the morality super hero powers. Just a dumb, fun summer night is all!
