5:41 pm New Britain, CT: one last moment of quiet by the pool with a glass of rose. Kids, relatives, dogs all inside. Shortly we head out for the cocktail party, bouncy houses, dinner and fireworks.
A robin chirps quietly 10 feet away. No doubt Awesome Wife is wondering where the hell I am. This is ok, as she still has to do he r makeup and therefore has more important things to think about. 
10 minutes ago some kind of freak yellowjacket stung 2 of the dogs and one uncle, driving everyone inside. Fortunately no trouble with bees yet, myself.
Ah, the siren call of parenthood. Off to the races!
