Morton Grove Days coming

Let's go down to the fairground
Let's go down my dear
Watch those young tow-headed kids
Grin from ear to ear
Maybe they know something
That we forgot about
Our lives became so complex
We blocked the fun right out
Graham Parker, "Fairground," 2007.

Independence Day is around the corner, so that means it's time for Morton Grove Days where I live. There will be a carnival, a beer garden, and on Sunday night--July 4--a fabulous fireworks display in Harrer Park.

But while celebrating this weekend, rememember our Founding Fathers: George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and all of the rest. Thank you.
