Unfortunately, since I'm writing this after midnight, the date stamp on the blog will read "Saturday July 5th". Hence why I titled it as I did. "Happy Fourth!" would just be silly on the fifth! ;-) Anyway, it was a pretty uneventful holiday. I joined my parents at a gathering of some of their close friends and had a really nice time, even though it was just "a'ight" weather-wise. Our host BBQed some of the best hamburgers I've ever eaten, and one gal brought a really yummy dip: 3/4 c. salsa, 1/2 c. sour cream, 1/2 c. mayonnaise, and a 1/4 c. cilantro. I'm not crazy about mayonnaise, but I didn't even notice it. It was especially delicious with some mildly spicy corn chips. Hmm. I must be hungry. All that good food I ate was quite a while ago... Anyway, they also had a pool, so I got some bonus swimming time that I didn't expect this week.
In other news, my "Quantum Leap" addiction has been requiring several "hits" per day... It's a good thing that I wasn't extremely into it as a kid, because I probably would have cried when the series ended. At least now when I watch reruns I know, for example, that there are exactly 96 episodes and no more. (As opposed to when "Studio 60" ended in 2007 and I had to deal with the confusing uncertainty "Wait...you mean there aren't any more? Why wasn't I told? Why wasn't this on IMDB?" LOL) Today, I watched an episode of "Quantum Leap" called "M.I.A."- Definitely some of the most heartwrenching TV I've watched in a while.
Whenever anyone reads this, whether it's July 6th or a few months from now, say a quick prayer of thanks for our Founding Fathers and the work they did to make this country great, and to give us such cause for celebration.
