Funny. Brought back memories. My daughters used to watch Anne of the Green Gables series again and again and again … and force their baby brother to watch, as well! The tyranny of the majority, of course.

We grilled, drank beer and wine, saw old friends and blew up a few boxes of fireworks. Home by midnight. Never saw any Brits to shoot bottle rockets at, maybe next year.

Brendan: We started the fireworks at the local Brit’s house at midnight, then again at 6am and noon. He finally called this afternoon, saying, “Dude, WTF?!” I had to remind him of the occasion, upon which he replied, “Okay…just watch out for my jeep.”

Tonga: The movie-watching will be segregated.

Mark,

Congrats on YOUR version of Independence!

And do you mean to tell me that the “non-danglers” will actually sit through “Patton” & “Gods & Generals”?

Best!
Tom

Can’t really imagine sitting down and trying to watch Pride & Prejudice or Patton, although the latter would be okay in an environment not riddled with hyperactive younger people… What really excites me is the prospect of shooting fireworks at Brits– I really hope you actually are going to do this…

Currently I am celebrating the American ideal by clocking time and a half at my shit job while wearing (unplanned) a Gettysburg t-shirt given to me by my dad… After work I will go home and try to work my other, mostly unpaid job, then study some French… If I’m not dead on my feet after all that I might watch some sort of Japanese movie that borders on pornography or sanity, depending…

Viva la Revolucion!

Off to a great start 1-0; dinner, drinks and cigar last night at Panza Verde, friends coming over today to grill out, and the weather here could not be better. It’s sunny and 70 with a light breeze and clear skies!

Happy 233rd Birthday USA – Enjoy your weekend Mark, a friend of mine had a small part in ‘Gods & Generals’…some of it filmed not too far from my current location this 4th of July (Washington DC). Also riding the Harley this weekend while the weather cooperates – plenty of history to enjoy on the roads of Virginia.

salud!
