Happy 4th

just another excuse to go out and see the pretty colors...oooh! in Denver, the best fireworks shows are put on by the Colorado Rapids and Colorado Rockies. tonight, there will be a show immediately following the Rapids game at Invesco Field.

another great show is put on by the city of Glendale. for such a small city, they get a lot of tax money from their two strip clubs, Shotgun Willie's and PT's Gold Club, to support a spectacular 4th of July extravaganza. although the date of the show varies, this year it will be on the 5th, around dusk. best viewing is at the Super Target (which hasn't reopened from renovations) near Colo. Blvd. and Virginia - right behind Shotgun Willie's and Applebee's. if you catch a meal at Applebee's, you can get a perfect view from the tables nearest the SE side of the restaurant.

any other plans for the day? right now, i'm just hanging out and watching the taped Wimbledon semifinals. other than certain sports events (e.g., Summer Olympics, tennis, volleyball, gymnastics, track & field), i don't watch that much TV. occasionally, i'll see which Britcoms are on PBS...catch Globetrekker...or watch the news. i do find it amusing to watch dumb dating shows like 5th Wheel or Blind Date once in a while. i guess i never got a penchant for following reality series. even though they are supposed to be spontaneous and unrehearsed, they still seem too melodramatic and contrived for my tastes...

maybe a movie or some thrift shoppin' today...
