Fourth of July

[shiredancer]

Fireworks are just so fucking splendid. We trundled ourselves to the beach tonight, after a dreary, fog-ridden day (not unusual for summer in Santa Barbara), hauling our chairs and blankets and -- guilty pleasure -- KFC for dinner. My sister hooted and hollered over every explosion, my daughter complained about the noise, my husband kept up a running commentary... and I sat in open-mouthed silence, which is typical of how I like to enjoy such things. I found myself wishing I could be there all alone, just once, but I really wouldn't trade any of them

Re: fireworks and writing, but not at the same time

Thank you for the encouragement, and I feel your fireworks pain! I'll watch for any writing that you post, and I'll keep trying.
