who is Irish but lived in San Diego for a long time. He’s just come back last year.
So yesterday he says to me ‘are you doing anything to celebrate on Friday?’

I crack myself up.
So, my US friends, what are you doing for 4th of July?
Hey, Tee! Josh and I will just throw a steak on the grill on the Fourth, kick back, and watch the fireworks. My family is coming over on the fifth, actually, as that is when my sister will be in town. Take care, and I’ll raise a glass of red wine in your general direction on July 4. 🙂
