Today is our Independence Day, a day that our freedom is celebrated. I was going to write something about how proud I am to be an American and how lucky I feel to be able to grow up in a country where anything is possible. I was going to write about how we should all honor our troops and thank them for their service... but instead, I thought I would take a lighter side and do something a little bit different. Instead, I'm going to tell you why being an American is just so freakin' cool.
It was just a couple of weeks ago when I met a charming woman in Tennessee and we had a ten minute conversation about icecubes. Yes, ice cubes. Did you know that no where else do people use ice cubes like we do? Think about it, we use them for everything! So, I have to say, icecubes are definitely one of the best things about America.
Another thing that I value dear is peanut butter. Not much else to say. Maybe this goes back to my days in the PC but having to live without peanut butter is terrible.
Last but not least... baseball! Baseball is a true all American sport and I think everyone should grab a ball and go play catch to celebrate our country.
