Ready for July 4th

The Fourth of July is tomorrow, and that means that it’s also a friend’s birthday. Well, happy birthday, Enrico.

A couple of friends should be coming down this weekend. I’m looking forward to celebrating the 4th of July in air conditioned comfort. The last two years have been really, really bad. As in chew your air before you breathe it and don’t trample any children on your way home via the metro bad.

Well, I’d best be going, I’m wasting valuable Diablo time.
