Happy Fourth weekend. How are you spending it?

Um, you want someone to take a picture of you masturbating in your sleep while lying in a hammock?

Ya. Um, OK.

 

Damn, you figured me out!

 

I plan to do some writing, run a few intervals, take the bike out three or four times, torment the dogs, catch up on laundry and do some minor research on a couple of things.

 

I'm a rookie sports writer ... I'll be making contributions to a newspaper's sports section

 

I'm spending the 4th unemployed ... a very temporary and totally voluntary condition as I prepare to transition into another job.

The plan is to spend a great deal of time on the deck, grilling and chilling. And drinking, much drinking.

 

Good hubby spent today before work nursing wife with 24-hour flu.

But tomorrow and Monday, I'm out at the local sandlot tournament, checking in with some old pals and catching some good ball.

Then Tuesday, wife and I are going down to the city's ArtsFest, which culminates in the evening with a performance by the Beach Boys.

 

I see you Little League and raise you all the fun runs, golf tournaments and, yes, the 4th of July Kickball Tournament I have to cover this long weekend.

 

I am writing an on line summer novel with friends.

 

Oh, great, they're getting married, and we're just friends. :

Sadly, the 2170s will be independent of each other on Independence Day, but will make up for it next week.

So I guess he's right, we're wasting the weekend hundreds of miles apart writing this psychotic novel. BUT I'M NOT BITTER OR ANYTHING!

(oy vey, two smilies in one post, I need help...)

 

Kickball rules. I was like Brooks Robinson over at the hot corner.

 

Mike Royko.

He won't mind.
