I hope all 5.8 of my regular readers had a great
Independence Day. Mine started off with sleeping in, and then I met up with
some other singers to practice “The Anacreontick Song,” which “The Star-Spangled
Banner” is based on, for a flash mob. The practice seemed to go really well, so
we trooped through the stifling heat up to the Capitol Building and milled
around on the lawn. I thought we had ten minutes, so I ran into the Capitol to
use the facilities… and the flash mob happened without me! This is the story of
my life; the same thing happened when I was a bridesmaid in my brother’s
wedding.
Then Richard Bonomo and I were hoping to go sailing, but the
boat rental place has changed their rules so that you have to belong to their
sailing club to borrow a sailboat, so we rented a kayak. Another friend who
doesn’t have a name on this blog yet also went along and paddled a
single-person kayak. It was the first time she had tried it, and she loved it,
especially when we went into an inlet that reminded her of some jungle ride at
Disney World. It was cooler on the lake, with a lovely breeze. Then we went to
an outdoor concert of patriotic music, and then Rich and I joined Jilly Moose
and some other people to watch fireworks. As Rich said, “We’re trying to fit
twenty gallons in a ten-gallon day.” No wonder I am so tired today!
