4th of July

After facing the prospect of facing the holiday alone in my room completing logic puzzles, which though being entirely pleasant was slightly marred by the sounds of a family barbeque floating up from below, I trekked over to my parents and escorted my mother to a celebration in San Juan Capistrano to help sell donuts on behalf of Infiniti Rainbow Assembly.

Man, I like that sentence. It's very pretentious. Anyway, I had fun hanging out with the girls, playing crazy eights and B.S. and helping to sell Krispy Kremes. We managed to sell 20 dozen, and probably could have sold another 5 or 10.

I'd go again just for the fireworks. They were the best live large show I'd ever seen. They felt like they were right on top of us. By the time they started, we'd already sold out and taken down the canopy. We planted our chairs and watched the show with a perfect view.

I got home, just in time to watch the end of the Boston Pops concert on TV with their cutie conductor and their fireworks interrupted by a commercial break. Now really. Sigh.
