  8. Suz--Your link was broken at Magpie Tales. I almost didn't find you! I'm wondering if you are just talking about the actual holidays OR (big OR) ahem...something else??? Love that "cascading into darkness" line. Really nice. Really visual.

  9. Actually I was talking about a romance
    that was new (Chinese)
    liberating (the 4th)
    but actually only a score (baseball)
    and then gone (real fireworks)

    but I guess I dropped the ball on this on..but if I captured fireworks literally..okay
