Here we are again, on the Fourth of July! Much like Thanksgiving, this is one of those few holidays that brings everyone together without having to worry about pesky presents. My day started out at the 31st Annual Brentwood Firecracker 5K, followed by another hour and half of standing around for a parade which never arrive (Update: I am told it eventually showed up and everyone loved it...but I'll have to take their word for it).
If the school year is like a game, then Graduation is the cut sequence, and the Brentwood Race is like the video you watch after the credits. Running down the street, it was great seeing so many students, parents, and graduates out either cheering people on, or running in the race themselves. I even had one dedicated supporter make signs, and another group of graduates cheer for me as we passed each other near the turn around. I don't advocate dying after finishing a race, but honestly, if you're going go, it'd be good way to finish. I hope everyone had a great race, and special thanks to our generous sign maker (check out the pictures below)
The rest of the day includes some family events, a pig roast, the mandatory fireworks...and America. Happy Independence Day!
P.S. In case you don't understand the title of today's blog (shame on you) but check out the video below
