Dear Listmembers,
Happy fourth of July, which is odd to spend in Britain. I've been thinking of it today as "the day we just said no to George III," and half-wishing I could be at a barbeque.

Fortunately, there will still be a lot of barbeque here when you get back, and you have many friends who would spring for lunch (or dinner). I recall being in the Canada for Patriot Day and joining in the celebration in the city park in St. John. Only later did I figure out that it was a day celebrating those who cut and ran from the US during the revolutionary war. My friends there did not care for my suggestion that we rename it Traitor Day. I think the Brits might view the Fourth of July the same way. I viewed Patriot Day.

I second all the good wishes. In addition, the Fourth is my son's birthday. Now I ask you, was that patriotic of me or what?? (As if I'd had any say in it!) Anyway, it was exciting to hold that new person and see fireworks out the hospital window. And on a military base to boot!

Happy barbeques one and all!
