Happy Independence Day

To all my American cousins!

Yes, fellow bloggers, I have American cousins. Some were born in Canada then migrated to the U.S. so they could live close to Disneyland. That’s not the official story, but I know the truth. Others (in the same family) were born in the States. Now they are spread far and wide across the great U.S., like all of my American writer friends.

Enjoy your Independence Day. I’ve decided to celebrate with you. My Liege took the day off, and if it looks like most of the day will be sunny, you’ll find us floating on a monster-sized lake with a lake monster in it, which is an adventure in survival you don’t want to miss, let me tell you. If it starts to rain, I’ll be at home doing something far less relaxing, although I haven’t decided what yet. I’m crossing my fingers for the sun.
