Happy 5th of July!

What a great 4th! Our friends Kent and Benjamin (above) took part in the annual Kid's Bike Parade. (Nancy was stuck at home making potato salad). Horny Corners was jam packed with bikini clad chicks (I think there were a couple of guys there too). John and Marge were spinning daiquiris on the Peninsula. ML let us usurp her patio yet again for a great hang out spot while we grilled various dead animal parts and drank beer. Kim and I cruised around the neighborhood (she on her shiny new bike!) and stirred up trouble.

The shuttle launch was awe-inspiring. I swear to god I can't watch one of those launches without getting misty eyed.

All in all, a fantastic day, and the simple pleasures we enjoyed with our friends hammered home the fact that it's great to be an American, despite whatever shenanigans our crafty government leaders are up to.
