Holidays are a strange thing, especially when they land right smack dab in the middle of week. I've been hearing fireworks for days already-bored kids @9pm on a hot summer night. It's Independence day, a day to remember those founding fathers and enjoy 'merica! A good day it's been and now I will rest well tonight-exhausted from the heat. But before that I'll be reading some Jefferson and Franklin for good measure before I get to sleep.
