Vertigo!

When we went to see the fireworks we went over some granola guy's house in Park Slope. They were friends of my friends and we just tagged along. There was some talk that the mayor might be there but thank God he didn't make it.

The guy was a retired fireman who went native in Park Slope and bought a couple of brownstones on the cheap in the 1970's and sold them for a lot of money. He married an "ex-lesbian" who is thirty years younger than him. Trust me not hot.

Anyhoo we had to walk up this freaking sprial staircase that was two stories high to get to the roof. With my bad knees it was a killer. Plus you had to keep going in circles.

Coming down we were almost the last as usual. But of course the wife has to stop to take photo's.

Sometimes you life is just like a Hitchcock Movie.

The end of the day is time for Limoncello!

We went inside to eat because it was too hot in the yard and the mosquitos started to act up. I served a simple dessert of fresh berries over gelato and whipped cream.

Oh and of course some Limoncello that I had in the freezer.

That is some good shit right there.

It's just a fig leaf!

My fucking fig tree is taking over the yard. I trimmed it back and it is still gigantic.

So I figured I would show you a blurry photo to prove it.

We really enjoyed the 4th of July!

We had a great time on the 4th of July. I was able to grill up a mess of good food. Hot dogs. Burgers.
Steaks. Sausage and Peppers. I also made some fresh potato salad and my favorite pasta salad with fresh basil, tomato and ricotta salada cheese.

I went to the store and got a bunch of beers because I don't get a chance to drink a lot of beer. So I stocked up with some Newcastle Brown, Dos Equis and Peroni. The girls were drinking champagne all day which helped me clear some space in my wine refrigerator. I have so many premium bottles of champagne that people have given me that I have to get rid of some to make room for everyday stuff. I wish I could invite all youse guys over for a Barbeque. I think we would have a kick ass time!

Happy Fourth of July

Happy Fourth of July!

I am watching the hot dog eating contest at Coney Island before I start my own hot dog eating contest.

We have some friends coming over for a barbeque for the Fourth.

I hope you have a happy and healthy Fourth.

Happy Birthday Boss!

Happy birthday in heaven for the greatest owner in the history of sports: George Steinbrenner.

We really miss you boss. If you were around we would have a bunch of new players on the field to take over from the broken down dregs that remain from the championship years. The kids are running it like a business. Not like you did.

The Yankee fans really miss you.
