To all the whiners in America, Happy Independence Day! I hope you have a fabulous day planned! We plan to be lazy and eat and then, if we’re not in a food coma, we’ll go watch some fireworks. What could be better?
And for a special treat, here’s one of my favorite routines from Bill Cosby: the Coin Toss. It’s appropriate for the day because of the segment on The Revolutionary War.
What are your plans for the day?

I have to wait for the 5th of November when we celebrate burning Guy Fawkes on the stake for trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament. And that means staying home with a terrified dog who shivers shakes and wees with every boom. Great fun. Great fun.
But you all in the US have a blast (or stay home and enjoy).
I remember one year, I was living on Blackwater Sound in the Upper Keys (islands in the bottom of Florida.) We grilled some stuff then brought a bucket out on our dock full of ice, coronas and key limes we had picked off our tree. We sat there and watched the different fireworks going off all over and it reflected on the water. Absolutely breathtaking.
Sounds like a lovely time. The fireworks in FL, not the Guy Fawkes dog wee.
Over the years, we’ve made it a habit to avoid fireworks on the 4th, except on TV. The heat, the mosquitos, the crowds. No thanks. I didn’t even realize it annoyed my kids until my daughter made plans to go out with friends last night and said “at least I get to see fireworks this year.” Apparently, my opinion that we’ve seen incredible Disney fireworks enough times to blow all other fireworks away is not shared by my children. Huh.
