Jennifer & I drove to Memphis for the holiday weekend. We only had to share the house with my parents' dog, Mack. He's normally a nice little dog, but he gets very bent out of shape when they're gone for more than a couple of days. This weekend, he was acting as if they've been wondering in the desert for forty years. He needs an attitude adjustment. Jennifer tried poking him in the eye, to no avail.
We had a pretty busy weekend, all told. On Friday, we met my brother Craig and my grandparents for lunch down in Olive Branch, tried to go see Jennifer's grandmother who has been ill in the hospital for a while, and watched the City of Bartlett fireworks extravaganza. We made it back home with our eyebrows, so the show wasn't all it could have been. Good, but not great.
Independence Day was spent at Beech Lake (in Lexington, TN) with the Longo family. That's all I'll say about that. A Huey burger and Memphis Belle to end the day made up for anything lacking. USA! And I agree with Jeff. Wishing me a "Happy 4th" is pretty lame.
On Sunday, we were able to see Jennifer's grandmother, hold the newest nephew Alexander "Insert Middle Name Here" Longo. One leading middle name is "Romeo," which will do well if the kid wants to excel at getting wedgies in junior high. Also, we got to watch some covert ops on Redford Cove. Oops, I may have said too much.

Can I suggest a middle name of "Luthor" in honor of the man who stood up to the excesses that had developed in the Catholic Church and led to the development of Protestantism.
