Happy 4th of July. As I write this fireworks are going off over Lake Travis. Today is the 3rd of July, a Friday. Is it just me or is this annoying? Independence Day is the 4th of July, not the 3rd. Can we not wait one more day to "oooooh and Awwwww" as things explode in the air? I have always been anti-fireworks. I guess it something about lighting your money on fire.
Lake Travis has only been lower 5 other times since the lake was built. It is ugly out there. You have to REALLY want to be on the water to be on Lake Travis. Someone asked me yesterday where a good place to launch their boat would be, I told them Florida.
I'm closing in on 2000 followers on Twitter, www.twitter.com/sandymcilree I'll be very proud when that happen. Hey, the world goes monkey nuts when Ashton Kutcher hit a million, I can be a little proud when I hit 2,000.
Be sure to watch Austin Uncut on KXAN Saturday, July 18th at noon. It is a very cool Austin show, and they are doing a piece on JB and me. Interesting angle, they are interested in what we do when we aren't on the air.
Tricia and I went on a date tonight. We had sushi then, on JB's recomendation went to Spiderhouse Coffee. Very cool coffee shop. It reminded me of the coffee shops in Amsterdam without the weed and hash. Funny how smells can take you back, (the coffee in the shop and the weed somewhere close by)
I am going to be the emcee at the retirement ceremony of several Austin Police Officers on Wednesday afternoon. I am flattered by the request. Also trying to schedule a ride out with Chief Acevedo. My wife has done it several times and says I will love it. I'll be sure to let you know on the radio show when it is going to happen and then tell you what happened.
Landry is now one month old. Hard to believe. We have had a few tough nights, but overall I would say we are doing pretty dood. It is great having a Grandma 10 minutes away. My wife is a Rock Star with her, I'm trying to keep up.
Happy Birthday America!
