So, I’m back. Unless you’re not seeing this, in which case I’m somehow stranded in New Jersey, and sorry!

Of course, I was actually writing this on November 5. Which, where I come from, is also known as Bonfire Night. I miss it. Mostly, I miss the toffee. I should try and make it one of these years.

One of the things I’ve realized is so many cultures have fireworks nights. In the U.S. it’s July 4^th to celebrate the establishment of the country. In China, they let them off on the lunar New Year. In England, it’s November 5^th and celebrates…some guy trying to blow up the houses of Parliament. In Greece, there isn’t a firework left in the country on Easter Monday…specifically, fireworks happen at midnight Easter Saturday into Sunday.
