While my guests burned chicken on the grill, I stood on my terrace on the late afternoon of July 4th, scanning the water with binoculars, hoping to see a barge heading toward Malibu. A fireworks barge. Around five o’clock, I yelped and my group of 20 cheered. Not one barge, but two.
When it got dark, we sat on the terrace and watched agawk. The show was spectacular. Several of my guests said, “The best fireworks of my life.” I’m told that one barge was paid for by the Malibu Colony and the other by a prominent rap star. I look upon them both as a wonderful gift to the community-even if that wasn’t the prime intent-and I thank those who made them possible.
Red, white and cool.
