It looks like I have to find fireworks on television or something. Big rain blob is expected just when the city is scheduled to have the event. I'll check their website for alternate plan.

I bought real bones at the grocery store for the dog to help calm her.

Great job, sarameg!!

We dropped Franny off at her friend's house for family fun/local fair. Isaac got a last minute invite to spend the night too, but when it became clear his sister wanted to just see her friend, he said that's okay, he'll hang with us. So far that has meant a water balloon fight which pretty much made his day. Now for barbeque, and then maybe we go see fireworks up close and maybe we don't. Not a bad way to spend the holiday, but not at all like the block parties we used to have when I was a girl.

mac doesn't wanna go out, so I'm cleaning the grill and gonna start on that.

I'll be marathoning Breaking Bad for the rest of the weekend. I just watched the pilot and it seems the most American on shows I could watch. crappy healthcare, drug culture, the wild west.

Hee.

Breaking Bad, Anywhere But America Edition.

That works.

Oh, did I tell you guys? When I took off my coveralls, I found at least 3 WIRES sticking out of my legs! Grinders are no joke.

(I'm so hardcore, just yanked them out. Heh.)

Put chicken in my spinach & strawberry salad for the first time in ages. Might keep me from feeling like complete ass tomorrow. I can't wait to get in the pool, though. 2 days without it and one that was short, I miss it!

My cousin+ walked the Freedom Trail today, then got together with me for a movie and apres-cinema Mr Crepe visit, with a side visit to the candlepin bowling place off Davis Square. They're headed home tomorrow, alas, but they've gotten their Tour on enough, and they'll be back to visit the young'un at her college soon enough.

I'm hoping they were out walking in the morning! Davis is a good source for indoor amusements, at least....

Yes, through the morning, until it got too rainy.
