Fourth of July. A tornado warning in our neighborhood put the kibosh on the bar-b-que, but at least we got the baseball game in before the rain.
This is the third year we've spent July 4 at a baseball game. I like the tradition; it seems quite appropriate. And today, I especially liked that the Nats beat the Cubs. (I have nothing against the Cubs, and their fans were way more polite than those...guys...from New York. But good Lord, the volume...after the first inning last night, my dad remarked "Wanna go to Miller's Pub after the game?" as our section sure felt like Chicagoland.)
And since we were down there already today, might as well go home via Northeast and stop by the cemetery where my aunt is buried. The tradition the last few years was to spend July 4 with her, after all...
I'm not going to dredge it all up again, but lapsing into depression was item #12 on my to-do list.
I'm not even sure why I'm compelled to visit graves. It's not like the dearly departed are looking down saying "Hey, thanks for the flowers!" Yet I go.
I go, I feel sad, and I drink the beers I would have had had we had a bar-b-que instead of a tornado (so pardon the typos.)
I used to love the Fourth of July, but it's no longer my favorite holiday.
Posted by Nic at July 4, 2007 05:15 PM | TrackBackI wish to show some thanks to the writer just for rescuing me from such a challenge. After looking through the the net and coming across recommendations which were not beneficial, I believed my life was done. Living without the presence of solutions to the problems you've solved by way of your good posting is a crucial case, as well as the kind which may have negatively damaged my career if I hadn't encountered your site. Your knowledge and kindness in maneuvering the whole thing was priceless. I am not sure what I would have done if I hadn't encountered such a thing like this. I am able to at this time look forward to my future. Thanks very much for this skilled and sensible help. I will not be reluctant to refer your blog post to any individual who requires counselling about this situation.
