Happy 4th of July!

Point and click, create your own firworks show!

Although tomorrow is the holiday, tonight is Rhythm and Booms - a large local fireworks show. A few hundred thousand people show up, if I remember right. I will not be one of them. My wife is off to watch them on her bff Terry's boat with several friends. I would like to be there, but it will take hours to get the couple miles back to the dock then to home. And, honestly, lately I have not reacted well at all to being in groups of all smokers but me. I get a bit, er, testy, shall we say. Have a great holiday, all! (Or just a great day, for those outside the US!)

Mike O'Meara Is Back On The Radio

Mike O'Meara, who for years was half of the "Don & Mike" radio team, will return to Washington's airwaves next week with a new morning show and co-host. O'Meara, 51, will team with radio veteran Kirk McEwen on WVRX-FM (105.9) starting Wednesday, the station announced Friday.

With partner Don Geronimo, O'Meara was one of the top-rated personalities in Washington for more than two decades. Geronimo left the partnership in 2008, leaving O'Meara as a solo act on WJFK-FM (106.7). O'Meara continued until last summer, when the station changed to a sports-talk format. He has produced his own program as a podcast since then.

From what I understand, he will still continue the podcast with Robb, Buzz and Oscar. Hmmm. From listening to a radio show for over 10 years, it has splintered into 2 radio shows and a podcast for me to listen to. Tough choices will have to be made soon. After all, there are only so many hours in the day.....

A Quick Monday Note

Happy Monday! It's supposed to be a great week ahead, no rain and temps in the upper 70's!

I haven't started the Garage Redo yet, but we have gotten a few other things done around the house. The blinds came in for the kitchen and they look great - no more old lace curtains and ancient blinds! Next for the kitchen will be wallpaper removal and painting. And when we do that we may as well do the same in the bathroom. Also, we removed the old bulky range hood and we have a new light to put up there. I just have to wire it and I'll get that done this week sometime.

Tonight, though, I think we'll be heading to The Malt House for a few drinks with our friends, B & Z. I hope you had a good weekend and enjoy the upcoming week!
