I finally got my tattoo refreshed and it looks so much nicer…ESPECIALLY with Meghan’s name now added. It got subtly updated a little bit but is still the classic style it was when I got it 35 years ago. It makes me want to get more. I guess it’s better than heroin.

My plans to go do a Bucket List item this week had to change for several reasons – part of it being that I could not find a place that wasn’t already reserved. I will make some reservations for where I want to go plus I’ll actually have more time to go that far. I really didn’t want to deal with the traffic where I wanted to go and with a limited time I also don’t want to spend it all in traffic with the many Griswolds. There are some other, more personal, reasons that I am staying close to home as well and those are the main reasons.

It’s all good…I’ll be going out soon for another trip that is already planned and has been booked.

Tomorrow I think I might take the Nikon out and try to take some nice pictures someplace. I haven’t done that in a while and I think it will be a nice change of pace. As early as I wake up even on my weekend I should be able to get out to some interesting light and things to photograph.

There might be a neighborhood cookout this week so that will be fun if it happens. I have heard about previous cookouts during the summers so I would imagine tomorrow will be a good excuse. I made another trip to the restaurant that belongs to a neighbor. Damn it was good.

I’ve been hearing fireworks going off sporadically over the last few hours. It makes me think of all the hundreds of dollars I must have spent shooting fireworks when I was a kid. Kept my eyesight and my appendages so that was a good thing.

I don’t know if I am going to go find a Fourth celebration to attend or not while I am out taking a drive.

We’ll just see what happens tomorrow when I get up.
