Happy 4th of July!

What's on tap for your 4th of July weekend?

River tubing and a smoked pork butt. Nomnomnom. What you up to?

Softshell crabs, smoked pork, all the trimmings, and ice cold beer on the 4th at a big BBQ at a friends house. Playing golf with my mom and stepdad on Sunday, and I'll probably spend some time at the pool as well. It's going to be a great weekend.

Having some peeps over Sunday night for fireworks on the lake, lots of food and drinks. I'm gonna try out a hurricane recipe I found online. Not the super sugary mix crap, this one is made with fresh fruit juices, light and dark rum, and a 151 floater. Giddyup.

Workin! But only from 12-4, and I get paid 20 an hour to hand out beer & wine samples. Then hangin out with friends, gonna go to a party later, and see whatever supply of fireworks my friends drove up to PA to get.

Long weekend in a Buddhist monastery. It may not sound like fun to some of you folks but to me the peace, kind interactions, and tranquility rule.

Happy 4th everyone!

You guys get the good fireworks down there in Virginia?
They barely let us have sparklers here in Michigan.

Tonight we are taking the boat to a place that has some live music cold beer and a water fountain for the kids to play under. Tomorrow I'm playing golf and going to a pool party. Sunday we are taking some friends and their kids out on the boat to go fishing and some tubing. Monday our club has a cook out around the pool. Monday night we all meet down the street with our stash of fireworks and all the neighbors come out to watch. Even though they are illegal the fire department down the street will come and they will watch. I'm guessing we set off between $5,000 to $7,000 in fireworks between all the neighbors so we put on a pretty good show.

No, in VA only sparklers are legal. We have to go to SC to get the good stuff.

Off to NYC to see the family.
