Star Spangled Banner

Cheesy though it may be, the 4th of July always makes me feel patriotic. The rest of the year, I grumble about fat, lazy, greedy Americans. But when the fireworks displays go off in the background during a live performance of our national anthem, I get all mushy inside and proud of where we live.

This year I'm watching the SF Symphony in Mountain View. A quick search for California event tickets for the Fourth gave me the idea. I'll be sure to bring my Kleenex, in case I, uh, get something in my eye.
