fancy dinner and sleepover celebration with friends
not exactly sure what it was
but it seemed to make perfect sense at the time.
on the night before
the Barcelona – Napoli soccer match
takes place in the stadium
the streets close to cars
and open
only to people
who celebrate
with food and drinks
and especially music
as martha reeves
belts it out
under the stars
for the happy crowd.

‘i will always dance in the street.’
-martha reeves
is it one of the hottest days of summer?
is it time for our annual
christmas in july/august celebration?
absolutely.
with long-time friends
turkey dinner
wine
christmas cookies
stories
and
odds and ends re-gifts to each other
that we’re highly likely
to re-gift to someone else at a later date
no reason to keep the joy of giving all to ourselves.
