rantings and ravings with little cohesion and plenty of pretension

 

Canadian Fireworks

I fireworked it up last night.

Anna and I headed down to Kits Point and found a nice patch of grass by some weird monument that is supposed to represent the Northwest Passage (it looks like an upside down U).

It was Canada's turn first and I'm often disappointed by their presentation. Last night was no exception. It's all in their music choice. And yes Louis Armstrong is awesome and "What a wonderful World" is a great song, but it doesn't scream "fireworks" too me. Ditto with "At Last" and Gershwin's "Summertime". Fireworks are not subtle, and the music shouldn't be either. Which is why Canada is not going to win.

Today I'm working then hitting the beach. Should be a nice inexpensive day. Which will be good, because I went on a shopping spree last weekend and the bank account took a hit.
