I hope you're all enjoying the holiday weekend. So far so good around here. I went to a party at a friends' house on Thursday night and we took a walk down to the local fireworks show, which we could see across cove. Except we couldn't see them, due to the low cloud cover. You could hear the boom-booms and the clouds would occasionally glow red or green, but that was about it. You should have seen everyone standing stock still, staring across the water at the sky, not quite sure if they were supposed to stay and watch this.

Yesterday, Sheila and Marty came over for a little picnic and to just hang around. Today, I'm heading down to the yacht club to help my father clean the boat for use. Hopefully, we'll take it out for a spin later on. It's hotter than Dick's hatband here, so a little time out on Long Island sound would be most welcome.

Any good plans for you? Whatever you do, be safe and has a wonderful weekend.
