Well, it sounds like you are a real trooper for sticking with it and going even though you didn't want to. I went and saw the fireworks this year, I've only seen them 2 times before at a one of those showings, so i thought it was kinda cool. I agree though, watching all those people have a good time is kiinda depressing. Some times i wish i was a kid enjoying all that stuff, but if i was a kid, i would be at home on the fourth of July. OH well
