Thank you, WS! I had a really wonderful afternoon at the museum with TCG. There was a samurai exhibit and a knight exhibit, as well as a Raphael painting on loan. I even had a delicious lunch, a sandwich with grilled vegetables, pesto, and asiago cheese, salad, and a little bit of TCG's crab cakes.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

And happy anniversary to Beverley and her dh!

This is the gin TCG bought me, made in MA if anyone is interested.

Thanks, Connie. I posted a couple of pictures to Facebook.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Happy anniversary, Bev and Bev's DH!

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Fourth of July always leaves me a little cold (metaphorically speaking.) It's hot, and there's expectation of celebration, which always paralyzes me (see also: New Years Eve and St. Patrick's Day.) And I wonder if my introversion has pushed away my friends, b/c we don't have a big family/friend BBQ thing to participate in/celebrate. I just feel depressed and lonely and like a loser.
Went to Tom's therapist the other night (with Tom) and I realized that my depression is spiraling these last couple of months. I hate this feeling of hopelessness. So we talked a little bit about how all we do is watch TV while on laptops so I feel guilty that, so far, that's all we've done today.
In conclusion, I hate the 4th of July and I suck.

You do not suck. There are many people who would aspire to being a professional beer person. I know how hard it is to carve a writing niche like that, and you are my hero.
Do you have your own therapist to deal with depression?
The Fourth is my favorite holiday, because there's no expectation of doing family stuff, driving to family or cooking an entire roast beast. It's Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter that I loathe.
