Fourth of July

I celebrated the Fourth of July in Canada this year, but I celebrated Canada Day in the US so it's okay. It was a pretty low key day, which made me sad in a way because I love Independence Day (I love any excuse to celebrate). The buffet served a barbeque for lunch complete with hamburgers, hot dogs, grilled chicken, bratwurst, corn on the cob, salads, strawberry cupcakes, blueberry cupcakes, vanilla cupcakes, candied apples, and Spanish rice. Yes, Spanish Rice, I the think the chef may have gotten his holidays a bit confused. After work and the show I headed up to the Crow's Nest (the dance club) to celebrate, but the place was DEAD. I think there was maybe ten people up there, and eight were crew members. Apparently it was “rockin'” earlier, but everyone was at the Dessert Extravaganza. We ended up retreating to the OB shortly after our arrival. In a was it was kinda sad. I am proud to be an American. My country is not perfect, I realize that, and there are a lot of things that need improvement, but we are still a great country with a lot to be proud of. Even though there was no big party, several of us dressed up for the occasion.
