4th of July

Yesterday was the 4th of July! Yay. It was a pretty good day for me. I made BBQ chicken and corn, saw the movie Transformers (which was pretty fun), and (most people would say bleagh) went to work and got some stuff done. The coolest part though was that I guess one of our neighbors is some sort of professional fireworks person, because 2 houses down, there was a 30 minute fireworks show! They also had classical music playing (just like most shows, but it reminded me of shows when I was a kid at the Oaks Mall). There were about 50 people there watching at the person's house, so we just watched the fireworks explode about 100 feet or so above our heads (I'm bad with vertical distance, so if that's too close to the ground, don't get offended). It was the first time fireworks going off in my neighborhood has been a welcome occurrence instead of an annoyance.
