Kristin and I have decided that the best way to celebrate the birth of our nation is to stay inside for the greater part of the day and watch The Twilight Zone Marathon on SciFi (soon to be SyFy...how weird). If you have not yet made this a tradition in your family, get on it. It's so worth it. Rod Serling can offer you so many pieces of wisdom, for instance, don't be surprised if you're actually a mannequin who is taking a month to live among humans. It could happen to anyone. And if you find that the Earth has fallen out of orbit and is hurtling towards the sun, try pinching yourself-it could be that the Earth has fallen out of orbit and is hurtling away from the sun, and you were just having a bad dream. And kids, if you have bickering, abusive, or just plain terrible parents, try diving into your nearest swimming pool and going deeper until you reach another world. There, you can help good old Aunt T bake a chocolate cake and hang out with Huck Finn-like characters. Like I said, the marathon is so worth it.
For the rest of the fourth, we'll be in Pennsylvania, hanging with the fam and watching good old fashioned fireworks, PA style. Which is kind of appropriate, seeing as how that's where the Declaration was signed and all. (Another tradition-watching 1776. I know, it was lame in fifth grade, but it grows on you.)
Happy 4th of July!
