Happy Birthday, America!

Yep, today's the Fourth of July. I'm not doing a whole lot. Actually, just like Memorial Day was, the weather is rainy and icky-- not conducive to a fireworks spectacular and/or outdoor BBQ extravaganza. Oh, well, there's other ways to get into the patriotic mood. I think we're just going to have all-American hotdogs over at my mom's house later on today. I might even get on Yahoo!Music.com and watch some vintage patriotic videos, particularly Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." and John Mellencamp's "Pink Houses." I may possibly drink a Budweiser or two. Yeah, I know it's kinda corny, but dang it, I really love my country right now!
