Celebrating the Fourth

Today at work, in order to both observe Independence Day and boost morale, I hosted a patriotic sing-a-long from 5:15-5:30 p.m. (most of us go home at 5:30). Of course, this was only possible because our British boss was out on vacation.

As we stood there belting out 'My Country, 'Tis of Thee,' 'God Bless America,' 'This Land is Your Land,' and 'The Star-Spangled Banner,' I thought of this memorable scene.
