Whatcha doing for 4th of July?

Our kid's at Notre Dame another week so she'll miss the local big teen blowout party. (I'll just e-mail her a summary from the police blotter.) She has a choice of (1) Notre Dame BBQ or (2) South Bend minor-league baseball or (3) South Bend fireworks. Hasn't made up her mind yet because she's only ever seen Hawaii's version of fireworks, not a professional show, and the BBQ will probably not have kal-be with kimchee, and South Bend gets "cold" at night. (57 degrees last night.)

Spouse and I will be hermiting. And empty-nesting. We'll work an hour or two on our new surround for the master bathroom whirlpool tub and then take the rest of the day off. I may have a chance to give surfing lessons to cadets from the Air Force Academy but White Plains Beach will be filled six deep in people this weekend, so when they check in I hope they can do it Friday or Monday or next week. But it'll still work out fine if we have to wade through the crowds.

As the sun goes down and the amateurs come out to play, we'll be donning respirators & earplugs. But unlike New Years' this will hopefully only go to 10 PM.

Ruh-roh. Has she ever done the Polynesian Cultural Center's World Fire-Knife Championships?

I guess things will be OK if the flames can be doused with beer.

Yes it is.

Or the mids won't be visiting you next year!
