Happy 4th of July

I would like to wish all my friends and family back home a very happy and safe 4th of July. While I will not be watching the fireworks displays from the Stone Arch Bridge, one of my favorite places in Minneapolis, Maggie and I are planning to honor the holiday instead by hiking up Monserrate on Saturday and having a super-deluxe-cheeseburger and malt at a nearby "burger joint." Aside from finishing up a few work projects, I may even celebrate tonight by watching the Twins-Yankees game on ESPN2. Go Twins!
