Happy 233rd

Today I went to the pool to do homework.

I haven't been to the public pool since I was 8 years old.

The high today was 91.

I didn't get any homework done, if you were really wondering but I don't think it was the pool. I think it was just me.

This is my problem:
I think of other things to do.


This has been my problem for quite some time now. It could be anything. Sometimes I clip my toe nails or watch people or send an email or go get a drink of water or who knows.

I didn't go swimming and there's something strange about the public pool.
I went with Lily and Marc.

Today's the 4th of July and it's my favorite holiday. It's not so much the fact that it's all American and I'm all American and America. America.

It's the summer. It's the cook out. It's the watermelon. Iced tea. Red plastic table cloth. Blue napkins. Cans of Coke. Baked beans. Thick slices of tomato and cheese cooked right on the burger. Sea salt and vinegar potato chips. Running in and out of the house. Water balloons and a frisbee. The back yard. Cousins. Brothers. Friends. Yelling. Barefoot. Sparklers. Lawn chairs.

Fireworks.

And this year I get to watch The Baker's Wife and eat a Noodle Box.
