Today is independence day, I spent most of it exploring bits and pieces of Boston.

I'm home now, sitting in my stuffy room. Just an hour ago, fireworks were set off right outside my house. A bunch of high school kids were gathered outside watching. The girls were shrieking in fear and the boys were tossing a football back and forth. This group of kids led me to think about how I spent my July 4th previous years. I usually spent them with my closest friends... this year it's different. I'm not sure where half of them are. I miss you guys.
