OH AND...

In my 4th of July recap I forgot the best parts of the parade!

The Rod Stewart impersonator in leopard pants.

And the fabulous older lady dancing up a storm in her red convertible.

Also...no one does the 1812 Overture better than the Boston Pops.  The chimes...the Howitzers...the choreographed fireworks.

While we're on the subject, let's discuss fireworks...

I dislike:
- two tone fireworks...like purple and green in one...eww
- fireworks in shapes like flying saucers, hearts, and especially smiley faces
- fireworks that just fall out of the sky like toothpaste being squeezed from a tube

I like love:
- fireworks that look like glitter
- fireworks that go up REALLY high
- white fireworks that are so bright it looks like daytime
- the REALLY big ones (that's what she said)
