Greetings and Happy Independence Day to my fellow U.S. flisters!

I feel so accomplished because I actually went out and did stuff today. In the capital, even! Go me! Okay, so I only did one patriotic thing, but whatevs.

I got to leave off work at 2:30pm today to take a behind-the-scenes tour of the Smithsonian Folklife Festival for SI staffers. The tents are all still empty, but it's going to be soooo awesome! The guests this year are Texas, NASA, and Bhutan, which should be a diverse and interesting experience.
