Fortunate Son





I had never gone to the 4th of July parade on Coronado before and one of Tasia’s co-workers has an annual 
party set up along the parade route. So we got up early and grabbed the ferry from the foot of Broadway, 
across to the Crown City. TONS of people but since her friend was all set up we just slid on in, grabbed a 
mimosa and enjoyed the festivities. At the conclusion, after the last floats have passed – the city in full force, 
with multiple janitors, garbage trucks and street sweepers, purged and purified thecity streets & 
sidewalks, making it seem like it never happened. Pretty cool I must admit. Glad to have done it and can say 
“Been there, done that”.

Highlight of the day – Guy passed out in the median as the city works cleaned up and left there for an HOUR 
 before cops and paramedics came and took his drunk ass away.

A couple days before, there was a Pre-4th BBQ at Rob Baker’s parents house over in Pt. Loma. I haven’t 
seen Rob-Bob in a couple of months, his parents in at least a year and Audra in 2 years. Plus both of his
kids… YIKES!!! Cole was getting all grown up!! It was great to catch up with them, drink some beer and
eat some yummy catered Mexican food.

Great friends and special times for the 4th of July.
