Patriot's Day


April 19th is the anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, celebrated as "Patriot's Day" in Massachusetts by giving people a day off to watch the Boston marathon. While I haven't had the chance to do that recently, it nearly coincides with April 20th, the anniversary of my arrival in the UK.

This April 20th was my fifth anniversary in the UK, so I celebrated by barbecuing on my 5th floor deck and flying the stars and stripes.

Happy Patriot's Day, and happy anniversary to me.
