happy independence day

Well, just as soon as I said I was going to stay inside, a friend invited Scooter & I up to her house in Cave Creek. She had an awesome pool in the back and had planted strategically placed trees, so there was plenty of shade as we played in the pool all afternoon/evening. Despite the high being like 113 degrees, we had a blast, and not a lick of sunburn for any of us, which is quite miraculous.
Finished the column for Echo yesterday. I need to do some editing, but it's jelling. :)
Gotta go grill--my patriotic duty! :)
Have a great fourth!
