Well, my brother and sister-in-law and the kids have decided not to come over to my folks’ house to watch the fireworks tonight. So now I don’t know what I’m going to do. I might just stay home, break in my new grill, and watch the Boston Pops on TV. Or I might park at my parents’ house but cut through the back yard and the back lot of Deery Eakin Primary School to watch the fireworks with the crowd at the park complex.

I’ve already made my scheduled stop by the folks’ house to feed the cats in their absence, so I don’t have to stop by there if I decide not to.
