Independence Day 2024

I’m on the mend from Covid, but still out of commission. Matt has also come down with some fatigue-based sickness that is not Covid. Here’s what we did.

Waited around for the excessive heat to kick in.

Played 10 Days in the USA.

Watched a an American Playhouse production of The Great American Fourth of July and Other Disasters.

It was written by Jean Shepard, author of A Christmas Story, and so the characters are familiar. It’s an older Ralphie.

The production values are so-so, and it could use a restoration (or an official home on YouTube) but it made us laugh hard twice, so it was a good use of our time.

I like to watch Hamilton on the Fourth, but had just watched it when Sara was here. So I watched La La Land instead.
