Happy 4th of July!

Oh, yeah, and I also find some time to hang out on SportsJournalists.com.

 

I'm ignoring the extended family by watching the Twilight Zone marathon on Syfy and surfing on my Kindle Fire. Doesn't get much better than that.

Happy Independence Day!

 

I spent much of the day watching the TZ marathon because it was too hot to go outside. I love that they run that on holidays.

 

Isn't is such a great show? I've seen the talking doll one a dozen times, and it still scares me each time I see it.

 

Love that one! I caught part of it earlier. I'm watching "To Serve Man" now and I think "Next Stop, Willoughby" is on next. Two of my favorites.

 

Hope everyone had a great 4th. I'm actually lucky enough to have tomorrow off as well, so I'm looking forward to sleeping in a little. Of course, for me, sleeping in is anything past about 5 a.m. LOL.

 

I'm staying up for my favorite, "The Obsolete Man," coming up at 11:30.

 

I was planning to make myself that great American meal of fried eggs, bacon and toast, but one of my roommates was making fried (which turned into mushed) potatoes with sausage, applesauce and cinnamon rolls and she gave me some. Then I decided to do laundry. One load turned into four since I'd been putting it off, then I started cleaning my room until it finally became livable.

That process took me about six hours to complete, and it's still not 100 percent done, but it's about 90 percent there. All the laundry has been folded and put away, and that was about 50 percent of the mess.

I finally went to the fireworks display. I felt fortunate that there was one because many jurisdictions in Montgomery County, Md. canceled theirs. At least Prince George's County would get its fireworks display in College Park. The fireworks seemed much better this year than in recent years past. They almost seemed to have a defiant air to them, as if the city and the university were extending a giant middle finger to the storms that knocked out power for so many in my area.

 

Went to a decent show one of the area cities puts on. Just wish the trashy element would refrain from using the F-word around my kids, especially when we're waiting in line for carnival rides. That, plus smoking in a no-smoking park.

One other thing, standing to video the fireworks on your cell phone is rude, especially when 95 percent if the crowd is sitting.
