Happy 4th to everyone

I hope that everyone has a great 4th of July. As for me, the only thing of substance I plan on doing today is a little painting. As expected, Lucy and Onyx woke me up this morning right at 7am. Who needs an alarm clock when you live at the Margarita Lounge...the animals wake you up to feed them breakfast. Since then (of course) they have both been silent while I can't go back to bed by this point. Lots of interesting stories out there today, but nothing I have the energy to go into. Today's two most important things are the Germany/Italy World Cup game at 2:30 and the possible shuttle launch also around 2:30. Everyone have a good day.
