Who doesn't love fireworks, cookouts, friends, days off work, and patriotism? Last year when I was in England for this holiday, I realized that it is quite possibly my favorite holiday of the year. Christmas is cool, too, but not like good ol' Independence Day. The 4th has much less associated stress.
So, with all of that excitement, the bummer of it all. I have the flu and a sinus/upper respiratory infection. It's NO FUN. My kids carry all kinds of cooties, and usually my immune system is strong enough to ward them off. Apparently not this time. So, I stayed home last night coughing up a lung and listening to other people's fireworks going off. Didn't get to see any of them. Maybe next year?

In 2004 I was in Prague during the 4th, and yeah, I agree, it was totally lame to celebrate it abroad.
