What day of the week is it?
Is it Thursday? You're not actually working today, are you?
We had a spectacular Fourth, with great food and drink; a wonderful setting just steps away from our abode; lots of fireworks, both legal and from the 'Couv; and best of all, some splendid company, most of whom we hadn't met before. The only blue note the whole day was a small slug who came home with us on the leftover baby carrots, and even he or she was in a holiday spirit.
We're not quite ready to declare another "Nice Week," but our perusal of the world, the city, and their foibles may be a little late getting started today.

Jack,
If you enjoy it when life imitates the Onion website, you'll love the headline on the Oregonian website this morning:
"SWAT Team arrests Wilsonville after 4.5-Hour standoff"
All I can say is it's about damn time.

It must have been a GREAT holiday for you to have missed this story from the Willy Week:

Hiked in the gorge with friends our age yesterday. Came home and shared cocktails and stories with our neighbors (in their late 80s) who have decided it's time to move on to assisted living. Their great sense of humor and outlook on life is something I will miss when they move. My head hit the pillow just as the fireworks were going off, and awoke to peace and quiet. Scrambling today to arrange bail for Wilsonville.
