Cone-tastic!

Nothing in the world is better than a sticky July 4th holiday at Coney Island. Susie and I dodged rain drops in Cha Cha's bar sipping foot long Pina Coladas listening to the roars of excitement as Germany went down. (woo!hoo!)

From Guatemala, Ecuador, Brooklyn, Puerto Rico, and Croatia they came, they drank, they danced, they sat on the beach... and they plied us with free drinks. It helps to be with a "china doll" as gorgeous and good natured as Susie, and hey, some guys even like a white girl.

The mood was dampened as I headed into more civilized parts of Brooklyn where artists and such do roam... Williamsburg. There the hipsters gathered on rooftops to watch and set off fireworks against the backdrop of Manhattan shouting "free Iraq" as smiley faces exploded against the urban sky. Oh how clever we are. We stole some of their beer and scampered out, my lucite slip-on glitter heels with battery operated flashing lights illuminating our every step.
