Here’s a couple take aways from my 4th.

• Miguel makes an awesome steak on the grill, rivaling anything I’ve eaten… anywhere. If this is his first attempt in 15 years, his potential is scary.

• Mike is not your average stuffy neurosurgeon. Granted, he’s the only one I know, but he defies my stereotype.

• There’s a variety of water gun/cannon out there that’s very effective. You should be afraid… very afraid.

• Adam had a great time.

• When I take pictures, my camera naturally follows my kid, no matter how cool the other kids are.
