Harvard’s a black hole, info wise. So, let’s see.. what’s going on? What’s in the news? Anything? Anything? Hot take.. Not to be spicy and negative, but sometimes i’m too much myself. Too comfortable, open and vocal. I can be opinionated. Who knows who’s listening? It could be anyone. “That’s not red, it’s carmine,” I blirt. There’s a rise and rush of feelings around the table. FAQs drop, I get treated. “God, get up and get at me,” I replied, with an unnerving poise. People love a scene. Happy 4th of July to Yankees everywhere! . .

<3 . I’m just not feeling ‘The 4th’ this year. The parade seemed anemic, the crowds were thin, the band was boring. I barely took any photos. I didn’t feel like too much, didn’t feel like much of anything at all. Nothing for me to blirt. Maybe as the fireworks gear up there’ll be energy in the air. . . . So, your piece was especially appreciated. . . . What’s the opposite of Yankee? Dixiecrat? Do you qualify as a Southern Belle? Geogia Peach? Regardless, Happy Independence Day to you too, Rebel.

A peach maybe. Yeah, the 4th is a tough sell this year. So many people I talk to are down on how things are going. I may be able to see fireworks from my balcony - yep, there goes one now - even as I write. Happy 4th Vin, better yet, happy 5th! =]
