A very fine Fourth of July was had by the missus and me. We hit the party at Raf's, where we ate hot dogs and drank beer and chatted it up with both strangers and friends for about 5 hours. Then we all headed down to the Iwa Jima memorial to watch the fireworks. Afterwards we returned to Raf's for more celebrating. Hightlights of the evening included Raf inviting his old man neighbor/landlord and his even older wife over to party with us. The landlord did come over for a beer and exclaimed, "Raf, how did you get so may hot girls to show up at your party?" Classic! Another highlight was my current roommate, Jenny, and I calling Sam (former roommate of Raf) over in San Diego to tell him that we were in his old house. Yes, we were a bit drunk. The phone got passed around so a few people could say hello.

After much sleeping in, I finally got up around noon. I helped the missus move a bookshelf to her studio then we went cardboard dumpster diving for boxes to move with. Good times!
