July 3rd. Gateway to the Independence Day weekend. Played some hot/humid golf at The Standard Club with cousin Chris – didn’t play that well, but it was a great afternoon nonetheless. Hit a few solid shots. Thought about Don, who would have enjoyed being out there, heat or not.

Followed up the golf with a good wine and a Louisville-favorite dish, the smoked salmon appetizer at Mesh. Always good. And some nice memories there. Sat at the bar, talked to a few folks, and enjoyed the holiday weekend vibe.

And to end the day, now watching Wolf Alice rock the house in Glasgow just a week ago. Would have loved to see that one in person. Ellie Rowsell, Wolf’s lead singer, is a force of nature. They’re one of my go-to listens these days. Right now they’re playing “The Sofa”, a very tasty tune.

Fireworks and BBQ tomorrow. That should work.
