July Fourth

I worked 19 days straight, including 8 hours on July Fourth, to finish a project due on July 10.  Here's the view of the capitol from my office on the fifth floor of the William P. Clements Building.  Thought about taking a break at 4 p.m. to check out the mass marriage ceremony being held at the capitol.  Overcame my former journalist instincts and kept working.

Had dinner after work with Tom and Evelyn at Kerbey Lane.  Here's their tomato pie, only available when tomatoes from their garden are in season:  flaky whole wheat crust, fresh tomatoes, ricotta cheese, basil, olives . . . .  too good!
