So I ended up heading out on the Fourth tonight to see the fireworks show, like I usually do around this time of year. I actually arrived a few hours early, since the show actually started around ten. While I was waiting for the show to start, I took in a softball tournament that several of the local businesses were having. I ended up having around ( Read more... )

Went and saw the fireworks show tonight. It was hotter and muggier than shit outside for the good part of the day, and I was under the impression that the thing wouldn't happen at all.

I headed out tonight to see the fireworks show this year, the first time I've actually attended a community event since I moved to Melrose.
