tell me i'm your national anthem

My 4th was pretty uneventful, for the most part. Apparently the city Des Moines only does fireworks on the 3rd of July, but since I thought there would be some on the actual holiday, I decided not to fight the hoards of families that were flooding into the East Village for Yankee Doodle Pops as I was getting off of work. I'm not too sad about it, though, since they shoot off fireworks after Friday night I-Cubs home games. Anyways, I spent most of the 4th in my apartment; sleeping in and watching daytime tv. In the evening I headed over to the Murillo apartments for a bbq. I ate 3 cheese hot dogs and played 3 games of ping pong, so it was a pretty good night.
