I hope everyone who celebrates the 4th had a great one! I think next year I might take BART out to Pier 39 and watch the fireworks.

My little Neville is a cute, round faced, big-eyed, fluffy tyrant. He is so upset because I want to eat chicken curry salad for lunch instead of roast chicken. Mean, mean mommy is eating chicken that kitties can't eat
