Happy birthdays all around!
Tomorrow is Sam’s 8th birthday (4th of July is why he’s called Sam). Everyone asked me today what I’m doing and the answer is…nothing. The Fourth was never a favorite of mine – it was hot wherever I lived and the last thing I wanted to do was stand over a grill.
Then there was the year I climbed up on the roof to watch the fireworks and the neighbors fired bottle rockets at me.
Have a good weekend. Doing anything special this 4th?

Why did we think being on the roof was a better view? Like, we were ten feet closer to the sky? In the overcast bay area I grew up in it was an exercise of watching flashes of color through the fog…bottle rockets were far more interesting.
