the (2nd) 4th of July

This Instant message greeted me as I returned home from work:

BoudreauxMan (6:06:40 PM): phipps, i heard you were going to be in sparta over the weekend, i was thinking about having a july 4th celebration at the cabin

Auto response from Alleghany150 (6:06:40 PM): away as crap

BoudreauxMan (6:09:49 PM): here are the plans: July 2-Saturday, wake up relatively early and go canoing, tubing, etc. down the river while enjoying tasty beverages, cigerattes and maybe even some marijuana. when we reach our destination there will be coolers of beer waiting on us. our destination should be the cabin and we should have one hell of a july 4th bash on july 2nd, i've heard that there are going to be several people in town, so we need to get up with everybody

So the weekend of Sparta looks like a promising one, after all. I especially love the unbridled enthusiasm of Mr. Evans, planning a 4th of july celebration on the 2nd of july (pure sparta genius), as it's usually hard to get Spartans to get excited about a return trip. Also, it is funny as damnit that patrick misspelled cigarettes, but correctly spelled marijuana...
