Happy Birthday America



how do you celebrate america's birthday? if you're anything like me you're looking at the three Fs: food, family, and full frontal nudity.

ok, i don't really celebrate the 4th in the buff with family but i needed a third F and using the word "fun" was cornier than kelly rippa.

but the first two Fs, for better or worse, is usually what makes up my 4th of july festivities. that and lighting my cigarettes with fireworks. just kidding-smoking is bad for you.

so, what came first? the food or the family? i think having plenty of the one makes the other one bearable (and i bet you can guess which one i am referring to when i say bearable.)

my mouth waters even now when i think about the menu in store...bbq brisket, buffalo wings, deviled eggs, corn on the kob, guacamole and tortilla chips, cucumber salad, and plenty of corona light.

so, at some point tomorrow, i promise to raise my glass to you and wish you a happy 4th, no matter how or with whom you celebrate it. just remember, fireworks are not proper lighting devices-having a nub instead of a hand-so unpretty.
