Sounds like the perfect evening, aside from the Mike's. ;-)
I love Hey Jealousy. I remember years ago a friend of mine texted me late at night to tell me he sang that song during karaoke and he thought of me. Still makes me smile because I remember I was having a very sad weekend and thought that was sweet.

Haven't heard the song until now, but it's a nice one. I'm sitting here drinking Diet Pepsi finishing up a few financial things, but I don't have to go to work tomorrow, either . We watched the Detroit fireworks on tv. They were nice.

I swim Masters! I'm seriously jealous. I'd never be good enough for Worlds. MY BIL swam in college and did very well. He started Masters swimming in his late 20's and has qualified for every world meet. This was the closest one to Rochester and therefore affordable for the family to make the trip. He's 58 going on 59 in November and is hoping for a finish in the top 20.....we're hoping for a finish in the top 5. He swims 50 and 100 back. Besides being a good swimmer he coached for years. He briefly coached Olympic swimmer Kara Lynn Joyce when her family lived in the Rochester area. More than his swimming ability is the fact that he's a real mensch.....seeing him be able to compete in Montreal is very exciting for his wife, kids, grand kids and the rest of our extended family. This will be the largest aquatic competition in history from what I'm reading. We're all very excited to be going.

I'll watch the FINA feed from the meet so I can see how he does. Maybe when it gets cold up there, he can visit us down here. We swim year-round.

I'll hear booming for the next month. Fireworks are only legal for a few weeks before holidays like July 4, but my neighbors buy a few months supply. On a totally random Wednesday, they will set off their fireworks. It annoys the cocker spaniel a lot. ARGH - same here! I got zero sleep last night because people were setting off fireworks until midnight. And it will be that way for the next 3 - 4 nights. We have very dry summers and often are on fire bans which also means no fireworks. I secretly hope for it each year even though I hate how the drought affects the crops and food prices. My next door neighbors invited us to their house for their 4th of July party on Friday. They are having a MASSIVE blowout and invited 100+ people! At first I wanted to go stay in a hotel but I don't trust that many people with fireworks and alcohol right next door to me. Sure hope we all survive that chaos.

I'll match Swamp's post and raise it: sitting on a 3 mile sandy beach in Maine (the ONLY sandy one, LOL) with DH, the kids, and the puppy. We are overdosing on craft beer, buttery Chardonnay, lobster, drawn butter, filet mignon on the grill, real strawberries (not the Driscoll Frankenberries), s'mores, and simply living the dream.
If I can ever figure out how to post a video from my phone without telling the world my phone number and/or location, I will post a video of the puppy's first ever visit to the beach. And, last night, he either instictively knew how or learned instantaneously how to swim when he stepped off of a sandbar into water over his head. Fortunately, he was in his harness, on a leash, and within arms' reach but all were not necessary -- his doggie paddle would put SKubikky's BIL and Nancy to shame it was that good. He actually enjoyed it and kept venturing into deeper water during our long beach walk. Clearly, the Labra part of the his Labradoodle lineage is alive and well.
And, now I can't get that song out of my head...looks like an Itunes purchase is in my future...
