Fireworks

Big bangIt’s been a busy week so far at the office, so I haven’t had much time and energy to write, but just to catch up: this past weekend was pretty relaxing. We spent most of it at home. On Monday, Independence Day, we put together a nice barbeque dinner in no time (this is where I sound like a commercial) with prepared and frozen foods from the supermarket.

That night there were the usual fireworks on the National Mall, and we watched them from a pretty convenient vantage point: the parking structure at the Pentagon City shopping mall here in Arlington. (See also Thom’s blog and photos.) There were a lot of people there, and I overheard the couple next to us telling someone that it was their anniversary. They were married on July 4 some years ago; what a neat day to have a wedding, with fireworks and everything.

Penciled in on the agenda: Red, White and Tuna tonight at the Kennedy Center; and Pacific Overtures on Sunday night at Signature Theatre.
