Thank you for posting that link, Druxy. I love that he sang it like a prayer. And the chorus was perfect.

TOD - We're going to three-peat my favorite fireworks experience tonight.  Here in Normal the display is in the park adjacent to Laura's golf course, which is open for spectators.  We'll drive carts out to the 16th green and have a great vantage point.  We did this in 1999 and 2000 and are excited to be here this year.

DR RLP - Chuck says hearing that was a blast from the past.....but he thinks it was the mid-1970's.  He also says thanks....now he feels old.

I told him you can imagine how I feel!

Well the range is in place but the fridge is back on the truck on its way back to Lowe's since the motor would not even turn on.

I am awaiting a call to see if there is another one in stock.....at least we still have the old fridge and it is working away.....and back at the old stand.

Happy 4th, everyone!

Love the song, BK, and the pic of Jenna Lea and Barry Lee.   :D

TOD: 
My favorite memories of wonderful 4th's were always at home in the 'burbs of Philly. We'd have our traditional delicious family barbecue in the afternoon, and we'd pile the whole family into the station wagon at dusk, and head off to Germantown, where they had the best fireworks show around. The humor of where they were held escaped me until later, but they took place on the grounds of the School for the Deaf.

Everyone brought blankets, which we laid out on a grassy hill. We also brought along more snacks and drinks in coolers, and spent the evening oohing and aaahing over the gorgeous fireworks displays overhead. Sweet days indeed.

I have now watched The Music Man for the first time, and 1776 for the umpteenth time. Their artificial naturalness is somehow far, far more satisfying to me than the attempted "realistic" naturalness of the recent Les Mis.

That has the ring of "replacement prosthetic".

Since the TOD includes the best fireworks I've ever seen, I have a few favorite visuals of said displays: three photos that I took myself, during my travels.

They are not from a 4th of July celebration, but from the Syndey Olympics in 2000. I was working on the Crystal Harmony, and we were docked right in Sydney Harbor, between the Bridge and the Opera House. I had just bought my first digital camera the day before, and by some miracle, I got these shots without knowing what the hell I was doing with it.

We had the best view in the city from our top deck, and these were the fireworks that marked the end of the closing ceremonies. And though not from today's holiday, these are still some of the most amazing fireworks I have seen to date.









Purdy, ain't they?

They are indeed, DR ryacko. And what a wonderful experience that gig must have been! Thanks for sharing.

I am glad you got to watch TMM, DR SINGDAW....it is a most excellent movie.  I am still trying to "get" 1776, the charms of it have always escaped me.

It could be because William Daniels is on my list of actors who make me cringe.

I awoke at ten-fifteen but stayed in bed till now.  I think I got a bit over nine hours of sleep and that is a good thing. Too soon to tell if I'm feeling my oats but the throat is definitely not scratchy - I just feel a bit thick in the throat and hopefully that will go away as the day progresses.

That's because he's obnoxious and disliked. Did you know that?
