Things To Do This Week.

Get The Jump On Your 7/7 – 7/13 Plans.

Another of our country's birthdays has come and gone — and with it our most recent attempts at a four-day weekend.

But, much as four days of drinking, partying, staying up until dawn, and, generally, doing anything but working sounds unbelievably awesome beforehand, it also serves to remind us why most weekends are but two days long.

So think on that for a few days, evaluate your situation, rest up and get ready to get back out there.

Like always, Dallas, there's plenty to do in your near future.
