July 4

Went to a BBQ. Brought along a bag of ketchup-flavored potato chips (only 6 bags left!). Ate lots of charcoal-seared red meat. Drank Newcastle Ale & Dr. Pepper. Threw darts. Talked with an owner of an online aquarium equipment company, a girl trying to get a job with the Boston Red Sox, three people moving to Australia, and a British guy, among others. Saw fireworks along the oceanfront. Got hassled by the cops for ligthing sparklers in a park. Drank a Vanilla Coke, having it almost explode all over me. Drove home listening to The Doors' "Morrison Hotel". Watched a WW2 movie while eating chocolate peanut butter cup ice cream.

Now it is 3:30 a.m. July 5. The congealing grease from the red meat I gorged on & the pint of ice cream i went through quicker than I thought sit in my stomach....probably the reason why I'm still up. Or maybe that Vanilla Coke...which needs a little more vanilla.

How was your day?
