I love this country, but I am also thankfully several hours away from DC (as our family does every year to escape the heat and craziness around the holiday)
Great piece, Glenn! I was too young to remember anything about ‘76, but my whole life I’ve heard about how fun it was (for lack of a better term), despite everything going on. I mean we even got a cool quarter out of it!
I guess on some level I expected this year to be similar, but no go. Maybe in 2076…
P.S. I can smell that laminating machine from here.
P.P.S. I was a husky kid and wasn’t allowed to sit on the car, either.

Same, Brian. Same...

Thanks, Kevin! Glad it resonated with you. I can only hope it won’t be 2076 before times are good again…
Well written, beautiful piece! Hope you have an amazing 4th celebrating in a manner that speaks to you and Jill. 💕
Thank you, Jan!
