July 6, 2014 – Day-Drinking is Always an Option
I don’t think either of us felt like leaving the house today – it is hot outside. But in our neighborhood, and with all the windows open, our place is pretty damn comfortable. So we made some homemade magagas (a lot cheaper and easier than buying them at a restaurant or bar) and hung out on our porch. It ended up being a fun and just slightly boozy afternoon. As we were enjoying the afternoon and listening to the 80s on 8 SiriusXM station, we somehow decided to look up the schedule for the Greek Theater this summer; for nearly 3 weekends in a row, it’s a LarryLand Fiesta of concerts. We’ve chosen to do the REO Speedwagon and Chicago concert, but it was a tough choice.

July 5, 2014 – Our Gardening Efforts, July 2014 Edition
We’ve noticed that our planter was getting a bit sad in terms of soil levels. Also, we wanted to get some new herbs. At Home Depot, Larry ended up getting cilantro, flat-leaf parsley, and rosemary, while I got a pretty red flower plant. Also some additional pots and potting soil. Let’s see how many of these plants are still alive in a month!

July 4, 2014 – Independence Day BBQ at home with Mom
We had mom over to enjoy a great 4th of July afternoon and evening, with BBQ, chocolate-chip cookies (using a slightly tweaked recipe I found online that made ridiculously good cookies – 10:30 cooking time), and a few rounds of Wii Party U on the Wii U. And did you see the Macy’s Fireworks in NYC on NBC? When the Brooklyn Bridge started vomiting the flag in the form of fireworks, I was kind of blown away.

June 27, 2014 – Walking Around Warner Bros Studios
My friend Larry and I have been able to reconnect a few times a year. This last time, we met over at his place of employment. It’s pretty cool to see another movie studio, and kind of think about the fact that we at Universal don’t have this kind of cool exhibit on the lot – you really have to go to the actual theme park to find stuff similar.
