July 4, 2016: Happy Birthday USA

posted in: Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls, Cubs, White Sox | 1

What does the 4th of July mean for you?  How about fireworks?  Yes, there are plenty of those.  Who doesn’t like fireworks?  Well, my dog for one… we have to close up and put the AC on to try to block out some of the noise for her.  Some of those loud boomers are pretty damn loud…  Now don’t go blowing anything up, like a mailbox, or garbage can.  And don’t get hurt either.  It’s nice to sit back and watch the professionals put on a show.

Food.  There’s another reason to like the 4th.  Fire up that BBQ grill and enjoy.  Is your choice ribs, burgers, brats?  Whatever it is, it’s all good.  My weakness… just trying not to eat too much.  Spending time with the family is another good benefit.  Regardless if you’re seeing all of your family, some of your family, or just staying home with yours, it’s nice to spend a day with people that you love.  Of course, I’m assuming you love your family.  OK, it not, then find some friends, will you?  Alchohol… how about having some drinks on the 4th?  That’s kind of part of the package deal in most cases.  You don’t have to drink, but a beer or two won’t hurt.  Don’t drink too much, especially if you’re driving.  Keep it within reason, because remember, at the end of the day, it’s a celebration.

I told my son it was USA’s birthday.  So when he wakes up this morning (yes, he’s still sleeping), I’m sure he’ll say Happy Birthday USA.  It’s easy for me to remember how old our country is, since I was born on the Bicentennial.  Just take my age and add 200.  Well, take the age I will be in about 7 weeks, and add 200.  240 years old seems like a lot, but in the big scheme of things, it’s not.  The United States is still a relatively young country.

I like all the flags.  We passed by a high school on Saturday, and there were 100s of little flags in the ground.  It looked great.  There are flags hanging everywhere.  I even see people driving their cars with flags hanging out the window.  Usually I see that on other country’s holidays, as people drive around with their cars decked out in that country’s flag.  So I guess it’s OK to see people driving with a huge USA flag out their passenger window considering this is the USA.  I don’t do it, but hey… just make sure you can still see where you’re driving.  Like we don’t have enough distractions in the car already; don’t need more accidents on the road.

I like the fact that there will be baseball on all day.  America’s game they say, and we’ll see a full slate televised.  Now I’m only concerned about one game, but it’s nice to have that option… to watch as much baseball as you can handle on this Holiday.  I do love baseball.

Whatever your choice is on this Monday, be safe and enjoy.  Remember those who fought for, and continue to fight for our country.  Let’s be happy for these freedoms… to do whatever we like; there are places out there where this is not true.  Let’s be happy that we are alive, and hopefully healthy.  Let’s not take anything for granted.  Let’s go to a birthday party… America’s.  Happy 4th.
