Hope you had a great Fourth of July weekend!

The highlight for my family was our outing to Hank Aaron Stadium, to enjoy some hot dogs, baseball and fireworks with a group of friends. It was the perfect way to celebrate an All-American holiday.

It has also been a tradition for us to watch the Fourth of July spectacular from the Hatch Shell along the Charles River, featuring the Boston Pops.  A&E used to do a tremendous job with the broadcast, and it just hasn’t been the same since it moved to CBS.  Its broadcast begins with, what is actually, the end of the live performance—the last few measures of the 1812 Overture.  It’s just not the same.
