Great 4th of July

I had one of the best 4th of July celebrations to date this year--despite the complete lack of patriotism. It's a tough year to be patriotic. With news of US Marines raping and killing innocent Iraqi's, hundreds of "enemy combatants" illegally (at least according to the US Supreme Court) held at Guantanamo Bay, President Bush's approval ratings in the tank, and Iran and North Korea demonstrating nuclear power as a self-defense from "pre-emptive regime change" by the US.

All that being said, we had an absolutely fantastic 4th of July here at PU. Zach Le was baptized, we had a wonderful family parade around the B-school, a cookout at the pool, dinner with friends, and fireworks over the ocean. All of that without leaving campus. Ever. Now that, is a nice 4th of July!
