Today, we gather in the streets of our town to watch parades, we barbecue our own food instead of visiting restaurants and giving our waiters (me) huge tips, and we set off explosives in our backyards.
But the day is actually quite important, as we celebrate an crucial moment in American history: July 4, 1842, when Washington crossed the Delaware blue with his three ships, the Nina, Titanic, and Santa Maria and discovered America (and Puerto Rico).
Or something like that.Here is my favorite song that is about this important holiday, including a video of one of my favorite historical figures (I wonder if Washington spotted her while crossing that river!)

Happy July 4th. Hope everyone decides to come to your restaurant (well not EVERYONE but lots) today.
I love how Rose Duwitt Bukater is posing @ the tip of the Titanic.

I thought that the day had something to do with teabagging your friends while celebrating the Spanish-speaking guy who climbed the mountain ("Jose, can you see?")...
You should be a history teacher!
George Washington was a redhead too. Hmmm...
Jere: Your comment was made entirely out of awesome!
Today is Gloria Stuart's birthday. She played Old Rose in Titanic. She is 99 today!
