Playwrite27 has Saturday off, and is enjoying the rare luxuary. I slept until almost 2 in the afternoon, after waking at 8am, and going back to bed at 10am. Having side-effects of metformin beginning with the "D" word today...and a raging headache that's making my brain feel like it's trying to pop out of my skull...but hey, other than that, I'm fine. ;)

It's cloudy and cool this Independence day. I'm going for a bike ride 'round the block in a bit, to clear my head.

Flame is very in heat, and yowling and "screaming' like a banshee. "I want a maaaan!" The slut. :)) Not helping my headache, that.

Going to the symphony and fireworks tonight. The Glens Falls Symphony Orchestra is doing "A Richard Rogers Songbook," followed by fireworks, at Crandall Park, which is just up the road about a quarter mile or so.

Grabbed the trolley to Lake George last night--stayed on it and came home, went to Stewart's shop down the street, for an ice cream sundae instead. Lake George was so mobbed, there wasn't a bit of sitting room on the whole long shorefront...everyone waiting for the fireworks to go off, over the lake. Well, having lived in Lake George for 6 months, where they have fireworks every Thursday night as well as the night before the 4th July holiday, it wasn't something I felt like standing around on my bad foot for an hour, to watch.

Likewise, the queue line for ice cream at the Pink Roof ice cream stand across from the trolley stop was 20 deep, and again, didn't feel that ice cream was worth standing around 20 minutes to wait for, when I could go down the street here at home, and get some with no queue for it.

There's a new pizza place in town, debuting at the park tonight--"Pies on Wheels" is vintage truck (lorry) that's been re-done and kitted out with a pizza oven mounted on the back, operated by a former posh chef who's worked in posh resturants from Hawaii, to New York's Adirondack Mountains.

The portable pizza oven will be at the family fest in the park today, chruning out gourmet pizza pies on the spot. There was photo in one of the local weekly papers, and the thing looks rather cool. I don't think I'll try any though, I'm guessing it will be hugely expensive...need to watch my funds, as this three day weekend means losing two days pay (our employers gave us 2 days off, but it's unpaid holiday time).

Besides, I'm making spaghetti bologense in an eggplant/roasted garlic speghetti sauce tonight. Nom-nom!

I hope you all are having a good Saturday. I'm off on a bike ride 'round the neighbourhood. Cheers!
