Happy Independence Day, USA!

History.com has this awesome July 4th infographic to celebrate the day (and I am shamelessly posting it here…)

I’m off to eat a hot dog! Hope everyone enjoys the day.

Happy Independence Day!

American FlagHappy Independence Day!

As I mentioned Friday, this is one of my favorite holidays. Not only do I get to gorge on hot dogs and corn on the cob, I’m reminded — as I try to remember daily — what freedoms I have as an American.

I’ve been watching quite a bit of the history channel this weekend, learning things about American History they never taught me in high school. Things kids should know. Really.

This is the first year in a long time – perhaps a decade – when I’m at home. I have no plans…except to eat those hot dogs and prop my feet up. Maybe watch a bit more of the history channel. (I’m looking forward to staying away from the crowds.)

Wishing you a fantastic day, whether you’re celebrating or not!

As always, I thank all the men and women serving in the armed forces currently, and in the past.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Clive Barker's Birthday CakeWell, not to me…to my site!

Today is the one-year anniversary of the launch.

Isn’t this birthday cake cool?  Dee-London baked it in October for Clive Barker and posted this photo on the Clive Barker Jericho Web site. It’s just a tad bit “darker” than Blood Soup could ever be…but I think it’s better than something creamy, white and generic!
