Where are you spending your holiday weekend? And where do you wish you were spending it? Any special ways you're celebrating Independence Day?
With my feet firmly planted on the ground, I'm looking forward to declaring my independence from elevators for three days, especially after two disconcerting episodes in my office building this week.
It's not that I can't handle heights.
In fact, this is where I'd rather be.
I just prefer my heights with views, especially when you can only get there the old-fashioned way.
Dirt roads are good.
A reminder to anyone interested in participating in the next Culinary Smackdown: If your weekend plans include a holiday meal with friends, family, or summer veggies, you may already have an entry in the making for the July contest. Details here.
Then again, if you're bored solo this weekend, looking for diversion from too much fam-damily, or just happen to be a Tony Bourdain fan, you can check out my post about seeing him live. Hmm, so many connotations when it comes to "highs."
Wishing everyone a great weekend! Here's a musical reminder of July's theme:
30 days til your birthday is here
30 days til your birthday
Mark one down and
Wait for the next
29 days til your birthday is here
To be sung to the tune of:
Bernie, as you can probably tell, we're not going to let the sun go down on this birthday thing. After all, we know where you come from:
You may have been bumped around a few times. And tilted occasionally.
Hey, we all know life can be a roller coaster ride.
But one person's shut out is another person's perfect game.
You've had some major achievements.
And reached some pretty tall heights.
So . . . relax and sit back.
Grab a beer.
Imagine you're in the tropics.
Just let this birthday thing waft over you . . .
And remember that you'll always be younger than Elton John, Billy Joel - or me.
As Dylan would say,
Hang on, er, sloopy, only 30 days to go.
:) Your big sis
