Happy Fourth of July!
Can I just say, there is nothing more enchanting than fireworks to me. Out of all human endeavors, has there ever been anything invented that is so purely and solely for the purpose of delight and pleasure? Maybe ice cream. Sequins. Disco balls. On a blanket patchwork island with my friends and a gaggle of kids, on a liquid humid night, Devil Baby tucked in between legs and all eyes to the sky, we were wowed by the Edina fireworks. It was Devil Baby’s first big fireworks show and she kept repeating, with each new spray of fire in the sky, “0h, I love dat one!” I kept thinking: frivolity for frivolity’s sake. There is something beautiful and hopeful in the fact that we all gather all around our country and look up to our collective sky, the ultimate blank canvas, with the wonder of children.

So true. Even the most tired, most grumpy little girl on this good earth was delighted.

Yes! You can say what you will about Fireworks or anything else, because you do it so well. Irish Laddie here popping in on a sleepless night. Had dinner at Peter and Kathy’s recently and your clan was missed by mine. Hope you’re well!
