happy america day!

i took today off, it being america’s birthday and all.
christina and i celebrated with our delightfully canadian friend jesse. like a good american boy, i made hamburgers. my griddle must have been channeling abe lincoln’s ghost: i put out the best burgers of my life. red onions, garlic, paprika, and peter luger’s steak sauce, all wrapped in ground beef. delicious. cows ought to grow with the aforementioned ingredients, those burgers tasted so good.
we went down to the river this evening to watch the fireworks. the streets were absolutely packed with pedestrians and cars had no chance of getting anywhere or finding parking; hooray for bikes!
here’s some proof we were there:
as usual, i tried to play photographer. i think this is the best shot i took:
it’s as if a red and purple supernova is bursting directly above the charles river.
more (mostly cliched) pictures of the evening’s fireworks hang out here.
