Our favorite cul-de-sac crew returned last night to embrace their inner child (well, Jules' inner child) with a game of Sardines in a Can. After the gang's movie night got canceled, Travis told his wine-loving companions that a great way for adults to reduce stress levels is to embrace activities they loved as children. (If this is true, I demand a Lite-Brite be stationed at my desk from here on out.)
