Happy 4th, y’all!

Happy 4th of July to those who are observing it, and a great Friday to all!

If you are celebrating this weekend, please stay safe and have an enjoyable time!

I tend to not do much on this holiday. Nothing to do with politics or any of that crap, mostly because I am just not a huge fan of summer. I’d rather lay low in the a/c 😄

Fireworks are cool, but I’ve seen enough explosions in my lifetime. Don’t ask.

Life around Gorilla HQ has been pretty much par for the course. Still adapting to the new job and surroundings, and flipping around dealing with medical shit. Have an appointment at the start of August that will hopefully provide me some relief, as walking is often a Herculean task these days.

Already read a few fantastic No Theme Thursday entries today. Great stuff! Keep ’em coming!

One of this week’s NTT images.

I already posted some photos from the month of June, and will probably try to get another post with some more up either later today or sometime tomorrow.

I have a family thing tomorrow, but other than that, I am pretty much wide open, so I should be able to get it done. “Should.” 😄

Who knew I could turn posting into an Olympic event?

Anyhow, not much else to say at the moment, so in closing I’ll just say stay happy, healthy and…

F…F…Frrr…Frosty.

  3. Kevin, I can feel the healing ❤️‍🩹 already through your words and your attitude – I had an old “friend” once say something to the tune of … when the ‘spiritual malady’ is overcome – certain individuals experience a positive and healing change in their mind AND body as well.
    I foresee a bright future for a certain gorilla …
    Namaste 🙏 my friend and happy healing! ❤️‍🩹

      4. Once in a great while a shortcut may reveal itself, but they are rare indeed! I guess that’s life’s way of telling us shut up and enjoy the journey. 🤷‍♂️😄

  14. Happy Friday Kevin, happy 4th of July !

    I’m not a big fan of fireworks, this time we are in town, oh well… During holiday fun I tend to look forward to workdays, I suffer thru them with varying degree of success

    1. I am totally over the whole fireworks thing. Been there, done that. I don’t mind holidays per se, I just prefer to be left alone. By the time a holiday rolls around I am usually ready to crash and burn for a spell.
