Happy Birthday, USA.
The brain is not quite geared up for the typical musings today, so I'm just going to share some tidbits and trivial things I've found scattered hither and yon. I mentioned the other day that I'm not big on fireworks, so we're not planning anything special except our steak dinner (yummy) and finding some celebrations to watch on TV. That, and I have to work, anyway. Today's really just another Wednesday for me - with respect to the job, that is.
The flag's waving.
Enjoy your holiday.

JB,
I saw the answer to the Oscar trivia, and I realized you were right, but I thought Spencer Tracy did the back to back thing in the 30's. I'll check on it later, but that's what I thought the answer was.

Um, you forgot "thither" between hither and yon. Snicker.
