Well, well, we had a good day at Canobie Lake Park. Spent over five hours there. Quite a cross-section of humanity. Anyone who thinks America is a racist place would do well spending a few minutes taking in the mix of people at a place like that.

When we got home I grabbed a nap, got up, went for a popsicle only to discover that our Kenmore refrigerator was on the blink....funny, because Sears called just this morning to ask if we wanted to re-up our service plan for our stove -- yes, they called on the 4th, and on my cell phone no less. I said no, but now I found myself making a desperate call to Sears service to try to save our full fridge. Why do these things always happen on holidays? Guess what? They told me the earliest service date they had was in eight days -- the 12th. I kid you not. Good thing I never bothered with a service plan for the fridge. How completely useless would that be?

I then opened the local yellow pages and called a local appliance service. The guy walked me through the simple process of unplugging the thing and plugging it back in -- yeah, just like a computer. Guess what? The thing came back on. AND the guy will be here tomorrow to take care of replacing the computer panel that probably caused the trouble. Freakin' computers. They're everywhere.

So then the wife decides our daughter was too tired and we probably shouldn't bother going to the local fireworks display, and it's going to rain anyway. So I get permission to go to see a movie. Transformers. You want a review? Two words. Awe Some. So glad I went. This one is definitely worth seeing on the big screen. Great escape film, great fun.

Hope you had a good 4th.
