Identity Crisis

We spent our Canada Day eating Mexican food and walking around our neighborhood. July 3rd was spent at the lakefront with Malora and Charlie. See Malora, ever prepared, above with wine and citronella candles-both were needed! We went there to see the fireworks for the second year in a row, but the company and food was much better than the fireworks. We were probably the only ones not craning our necks for a glimpse of the fireworks from behind the downtown skyline! According the Charlie, July 4th should be spent watching a summer blockbuster where things get blown up...so we headed out to see Transformers the next day and boy, did things ever get blown up! In the same vein as Independence Day and Armaggedon, this movie took itself slightly less seriously. It also helped if you'd played with Optimus Prime and the Decepticons as a kid. Will and I both rounded off the day with (seperate) all-american bbq's. There were actually Americans at Will's but not at mine-I celebrated with my students.
