Happy Independence Day, America! (Or as one of my English friends jokingly referred to it, “Happy Good Riddance Day”.) And to my Canadian visitors, Happy Belated Canada Day!
As a kid, I always loved the Fourth of July because, hey, fireworks. It wasn’t until I went to grad school in Canada that I learned that Canadians have a similar holiday on July 1st, except with less fireworks and more poutine.
But one thing we can all agree on is that it’s a great time of year to take a break from work and have a BBQ!
