Being American Today
Today is July 4th which means Independence Day for us living in the States. As a proud American, I'll be doing the following today:
- Grilling out burgers, brats, and steak
- Drinking hard lemonade and Sam Adams
- Relaxing with my girlfriend and friends
- Swimming in my grandfather's pool
- Spending time with family

Happy Independence Day!
