This? This is Kent

While the 4th of July has never been my favorite holiday (too hot), this year, it's going to be really sad since we don't have a charcoal grill anymore (we left our previous Weber grill at the old house when we moved...I don't think J even put it in the shed or anything...just left it there in the backyard like some sort of rusty sentinel). Bummer. I'm not even sure what we're going to do on Saturday. I feel like we ought to do something to celebrate the country and all, but I'm pretty positive that taking Lil J to a fireworks display would be a very bad idea. So no fireworks, no charcoal-grilled dogs...I'll just have to find something really American to do. Maybe we'll all put on fanny packs and baseball caps, go to a large discount store and purchase items on credit that we can't really afford while carrying concealed firearms and referring to Chicago as a state. Yes, that sounds delightful.
