It's too hot. Almost frozen iced cold coconut water or blended fruit

Mostly nuts, fried chick peas & fruits (tangerines, pineapple and local peaches), chocolate for late night
Monday night I actually made chicken cheese burgers (damn they were good).

As an aside, I once worked for Jim King, the guy who was called back from retirement to stage-manage the 2004 Democratic Convention. A great Dem, who started as an advance man for JFK. Jimmy Carter later named him head of OPM, then Chairman of NTSB.

While I was working as a volunteer for John Kerry in Ohio, a friend of Kerry's told me that every advance person in the party at that time had been trained by Jim King.

I really like the changing backgrounds behind the speakers.

And it doesn't look like a giant toilet like the RNC!

that Dems are unpatriotic unless they fill up the place with flags and flag pins. Apparently that is patriotism

We exercise and watch what we eat but I can tell you I have never gone looking for gluten free anything.

On the other hand my best friend from childhood only eats gluten free because of her health issues.

I'm lucky - I'm not allergic to anything

Freshly made guacamole and pico de gallo, tons of tortilla chips, hot and cheesy quesadillas, Margaritas, and ginger sun tea. Still thinking about what sweet treats for later.
