Everytime I adjust the screen blogger erases what I've written. it's very obnoxious. So anyway, as I've tried to say TWICE now....(it'll never sound as good as it did the first time :-( )...last night was the fireworks on the lakefront. We got there around 8:45 while the official starting time was about 9:15, so, as I told Mike at the parade, I went looking for him. We were by the lagoon and I started my trek down past dempster and beyond. I found Mickey in about 20 seconds; he was on a search for Max and the rest of the crew. I wished him good luck and was on my voyage. I made it my whole way down and realized it would be next to impossible to locate just one person, so I changed my search for just people I know. On my way back to the blanket I ran into Gabe patay. He was there alone and so I made him come sit with us. It was cute.
The fireworks themselves were amazing. I never really noticed the music before, but they have some really random selections. One, that I thought went really well, was their performance during What a Wonderful World. Whenever the song mentioned colors, i.e. red flowers, sky of blue, etc., there would be a firework timed perfectly to accent that color. I was in awe. Gabe had an astounded look on his face. It was really cool.
It was also just a good feeling to see pretty much the entire town sitting together somewhere enjoying something together. It was very homey. Even if what they're enjoying represents something that not all of us necessarily believe in, you can put that aside and feel the energy of that kind of unity. It made me really happy.
