fourth of july

this was never our holiday. in fact i think july 4th was an annual worst day of the year for us.
the day pretty much went like this...glenn and todd/jackson and kevin and grant and manny, etc left early to golf. wives and kids arrived later to the golf club for lunch, july 4th parade, swim races, bouncy house, games (bingo), dinner/dessert (bbq, mac n cheese, cheesey bread, banana cream pie, peanut butter cookies) music, hot chocolate and fireworks. 
for the record by noon (when we all arrived), these husbands were everything but sober and anything but useful. 
glenn, who in general scored pretty high for being one of those super helpful involved dads, was a complete piece of shit on this day.
he, along with his fellow dads, was insensitive, nasty, disgusting, immature, stinky, and arrogant (if i'm forgetting any other descriptives, girls, - please chime in!). we pretty much fought until the next day.

today, 7/4/13, a small group of us returned to the club for the annual festivities. todd celebrated his hole in one. we all toasted him (and missed glenn). 

sitting under the grand fireworks, i reflected...especially on the past. i turned to hollye and said, "i would do just about anything to have glenn be here tonight with us."

leaving for my home away from home tomorrow morning. as of tonight, i'm hoping to journal while i am out of town.
