We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
The Declaration of Independence, 1776
While Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday the 4th is a very close second. I used to rush around trying to fight my way into Boston to listen to the Pops and watch the fireworks on the Esplanade, which I love, but I now find that listening to the Pops on the radio while relaxing in my backyard is just as much fun.
I don't know, maybe I am getting old!
This year I will be spending it with family and friends, eating lots of hot dogs and potato salad, trying to stay cool (if the weather report is to be believed) with popsicles!
For those of you in the US, I hope your 4th is a safe and happy one. For everyone else, Happy Wednesday!!!
