I wrote a special 4th of July song for us…

(to the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy)

Drunky Doodle went to rehab
Crying and all blubbery
Put a plug in the jug
And now posts on Sober Recovery

Happy 4th!

Well I am sitting on a deck in nowheresville, WA, where you are allowed to fire off your own bombs until midnight. They have been going off non stop since 9am. As luck would have it, The Fuzz does not seem to be bothered by all the blasts going off. I'm grateful. But I do not feel the same. I hate them. They are loud and being handled by people who just bought them from a roadside stand. It is making me jump out of my skin. It's enough to make ya' drink (but I'm not).

Long story to say, I'm in.

The blasts are still going here too! It's nearing midnight and I'm ready for some peace and quiet.

And to add more weirdness, some drunk guy (yes I've seen him drinking beer all day) walks by the cabin, looks up, and says, hey aren't you going to fire off any bombs tonight.....do I look like I am bonehead! As I am sitting in PJ bottoms, house slippers, a tank and socks. AND now, a man from the same beer drinking team, got in his boat and is doing doughnuts in the inlet in front of me....

All that to say, I'm in......

What's the problem Mom...

Hey ForgetfulKevin...it is officially July 5th for me but I will happily sing Jaynie's ditty and do a little jiggly-shuffle in celebration of independence from alcohol

Raider - do your house slippers have stuffed bunnies on them or big puffy pink pom-pons? What a great visual.

Nice job you all!
