Happy 4th!

I worked today - my boss was kind enough to let me save the holiday until the end of the month, when I will use it in concert with my vacation days to head to London for a week to see Sasha. In my fervor to eat the leftovers I forgot to inject some variety into meal planning, so I've had Thai three days in a row (which is not all bad). Happily I've also had our tomatoes, which are now coming in quickly enough to make me start thinking about who I can give them away to. Tomorrow, of course, is the fourth, and I believe I will be heading over to some friends for grilling and somesuch.

As it is the fourth, of course, one must talk briefly about politics (or patriotism, but I talk better about politics). Sarah Palin is resigning as governor of Alaska, and North Korea is firing missiles. And, of course, we're all broke - especially if we live in California. That's probably enough to last us a long weekend!
