Today is Independence Day.  The day we celebrate the birth of America.

My flag is flying.

I’m going to a picnic.

I’m ready for fireworks.

And I started a new tradition.  I am watching “Citizen U.S.A.:  A 50 State Road Trip,” by Alexandra Pelosi.  I TiVo’d it last year.  This documentary reminds me of all the things I take for granted. I hope you join me in this new tradition.

Happy Birthday to U.S.
