Happy 4th of July Thread

[The Germanator]

4th of July should be fun.

I'm gonna start off with a 9.3 mile run (15k) because I'm running a 15k next weekend and I want to have an idea of how it will go.

Then I'll get back in time to watch the Nathan's Hot Dog eating competition live on ESPN at noon! Maybe it's anti-patriotic, but I'm rooting for Kobayashi!

I think I'll be going to a wine tasting at a local vineyard after that where a jazz band is playing. Red, White, and Blue they call it. Red wine, white wine, and bleu cheese, yum!

A friend of a friend is having a party which is apparently a pretty big shindig with a fairly professional fireworks rig, so I may check that out.

Anyway, God Bless the USA and peace out Palin! Good riddance, even though I think we will probably have to hear from you around 2011-2012
