On Friday I went to see Barry Strassler, the  editor at Annapolis, MD, then we went out to a Mexican restaurant and chatted about many issues.  One important item we discussed was the possibility of a small job contract that may let me work at my home.  No final decision made yet.  It was worthwhile to see him and I will see him again at the NAD convention this Friday.

     On Saturday there was pre-July 4th fireworks at Laurel Park, a block distant from a friend's house.  We walked to the park to watch fireworks continue 20 minutes without stopping.  To my surprise, I knew half of the 15 people at the party, so I wouldn't be left out!
