In other, more AMERICAN news,

Happy Fourth of July! It was extremely humid and cloudy in Boston, so Alex and I opted to stay inside and watch the fireworks on TV. We also watched House and played Settlers with his sister. I felt a little sad, since now my family's back from the Berkshires after being gone the last three days and now I have to go back to work, but it's really been a fantastic extra-long weekend. Hope you guys had a great time today (oops, yesterday)!
