thanks for being born.

this time: red, white, and blue
instead of just: blue and white
[what will happen when i have more than 3 of those posts?]

as all true americans know, our country’s birthday is on the fourth.
as anyone who keeps track of time knows, today is the second.
as i know, i am going to be out of town starting this afternoon.
[so i am making a preemptive strike on birthday wishes.]
