Bocce Ball Champions of the World!

You know, historically Boston weather lets me down. But I have to give the weather props for providing what was probably the most absolutely beautiful Fourth of July ever. I went to my friend Mandy's for a BBQ, which was lots of fun. We didn't talk about the Bar too much, although I'm sure those who were there who are not studying for a Bar would disagree. Lots of good food and Bocce ball.

Brian, a fellow BC Law grad, and I are the Bocce Ball Champions of the World! Wow, another sport I'm good at besides swimming. If nothing else, it was lots of fun watching the vein pulse in Andrew's (aka The Most Competitive Boy in the World) forehead as we beat him and his partner twice.

We were going to go to the Esplanade and watch the fireworks, but we all jointly (and severally. Hahahahaha) decided to break up the party and head home because we had Barbri in the morning and we're all carting around that Bar study malaise. The fireworks didn't even start until 10:30 PM. I went to the Hatch Shell last year on July 3rd and watched the Boston Pops go through their dress rehearsal. Plus, I've done Fourth of July and New Years Eve at Grant Park in Chicago, so I feel like I've done my big crowds and explosions thing. Although next year I am TOTALLY going to whatever it is they do in DC.

But for this year I sat comfy on my couch listening to the Boston Pops do the 1812 Overture complete with cannons. I watched the fireworks on TV, and after a 5 second delay, heard the booms all the way in my apartment.
