Ya Say It's Yer Birthday?

Sure you want your kids to grow up? Our son turned 22 on Tuesday. We wanted to do something festive, but he had to work a 4pm - 10pm shift, so he took a rain check..with us. It appears he had a little party with some of his friends (including his girl friend). He came in about 3am and made some noise. When we got up in the morning, there was a box in the fridge from The Erotic Bakery containing cake fragments and a partially gnawed marzipan boob. No nipple.

Getting Ready for the 4th

Gasworks Park, just down the hill from us, is the scene for one of the two major fireworks displays in Seattle. We walked down there last night - it's our favorite after-dinner impromptu walking route. On the hill where people are usually flying kites, radio-controlled airplanes, or trying to figure out the inscrutable inlaid sundial at the top, they inflate a Lady Liberty balloon for the fireworks display, giving the park a Planet of the Apes ambience.

As close as we are, we've only walked down to see the fireworks a couple times. Other times we've been satisfied to watch from our deck, although we're a long way away and partially obscured. The best time we've had watching the Gasworks fireworks display was the time we walked around Green Lake and stopped at Mona's Bistro on Latona, had the bar to ourselves, and watched the fireworks on television while sipping Tito's peerless margaritas.

Happy 4th!
