Today is Independence Day, I barely noticed this morning. I was not sure how to commemorate it, I do want to commemorate it just because even though I have never been there, I admire and love a lot of American things, well, a lot of elements of American culture (the stuff that is admirable). This blog is my witness. And I thought maybe one of its many officious anthems could be an appropriate homage, so after thinking a lot about it I chose America by Simon and Garfunkel. It is full of sweet lyricism and is not bombastic like too many patriotic songs can be. So here it is.
this is perfect! it made my whole day! i made an early dinner of BBQ chicken, baked beans and macaroni salad. my guys left for the baseball game and i just sat down for the first time all day to watch it on tv. i pulled up your blog and listened to s&g and just thought...perfect day!

ReplyDeleteHow about a Canadian homage to America?

You've never gone cross-border shopping in the USA? What kind of Canadian are you?
