another celebration

. . .my first 'fourth of July' in the States :) 

And since we started talking about anthems a couple of days ago, here are some thoughts on the American anthem.

One.  No matter how low you start off "oh say can you see. . ." the song always seems to end shatteringly high.

Two.  It was one of those 'eureka!' moments when I realized that the lyrics were not 'dawnserlie light' but rather 'the dawn's. early. light.'

The whole song made a lot more sense after that point. 

Happy Fourth!
