I think it's a nice time
to step back and reflect on history.
We came from nothing to something.
We made half of the life span of the Roman Republic.
Hoping we can make another 250.
We have come a long way, and we have a long way to go still.
Get ice cream and watch the fireworks.
I like to celebrate family, have dinner.
I am actually having a concert for my students
with all American music.
