    I observed independence day by helping my brother in law install a dishwasher.

    I celebrated by the holiday by drinking beers on the beach, throwing the football whilst in the pool for about an hour, eating entirely too much of my smoked wahoo dip and my smoked French onion dip and some burgers. Oh, and more drinks.

    Got a good workout in this morning. Gonna run a long the same things back. Vacation!

    Further update: Spent most of the day at the beach yesterday. Some pool time and then made tacos for the family followed by a night of Left, Center, Right and some poker.

    I’m not sure I see a conundrum. The chatty Cathys were assholes.

    Unless the conundrum is whether middle age is older or younger than you. Correct answer is younger. The AARP offer in your mailbox should have told you.

    i don't know-- fireworks are a gray area . . . it's not a stand-up show or violin concerto.

    and you can join the AARP at age 18!

    but i think these people were pushing sixty. i'm only 55 . . .

    When my wife turned 50 I diligently threw away all of her AARP mailers as they arrived. Now they're sending them to me.

    I got to see some fireworks from I-81 on my solo 15 hour drive home from Maine. That was plenty for me.

    Unrelated question - anyone have midtown NYC hotel recommendation to put up a 19 year old for a night?

    My kid has a photo shoot there on 7/20, and while I'd like to put him somewhere safe and relatively clean, he doesn't need to be in the lap of luxury.

    Moxy hotel, midtown. Hotel is nice and has options for single beds that are very reasonable

    I'm a fan of The Benjamin. A hooker once propositioned me in the bar at the W in Times Square, if that's what he's looking for.

    In other news, the DOJ and FBI said that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself and had no client list. Knives out for Bondi, Patel, and Bongino!

    Thanks Marls and Z. I'll check those out.

    I don't think my kid has hooker money yet, as he doesn't start his job until the end of this month.

    One would think that the folks who want to use his likeness in their marketing materials would offer to cover some of the travel/lodging costs, but that's presently uncertain.

    Do we think that people high up in fed law enforcement would use their positions to protect powerful people who may be implicated in epstein's files? Seems hard to believe, no?
