well happy 4th y'all! phil informed me last night that the declaration of independence was actually signed on july 2nd, and then the next year they realized they might want to commemorate that but it was already july 3rd, so they just did it on the 4th and kept it that way for all time to come.
we've spent the past couple days in madison which reminds us a lot of ann arbor, which is a good thing! madison is also a huge college town. the college is right on the water. there's a bike path that runs the length of the city; the people we're staying with use it to tandem pike all the way across town to their ultimate frisbee games and its a 40 minute commute each way.
i've been talking a lot about actual events that happen to us but never really stop to reflect on kind of the vibes that we're getting from it all. i guess we're actually trying to leave pretty quickly so now's not really the time, but stay tuned fer all that.
dad, congrats on your block party performance, i bet you gave tailspin a run for their money.
