Glad to see you guys are doing well. How was Guy Fawkes Day in England?
Guy Fawkes day was fun, though I was hoping to see an inflamed effigy but you had to pay to see the thing... and well I don't need to see it that bad. What is funny is that day of burnination (wow it's been a while since I've said that) is simply referred to as "bonfire day." How quaint for a day remembering the incineration of a person...
Also their fireworks seem to happen throughout the weekend. Unlike say the 4th where we blow everything up at once, this is more like a weekend of occasional explosions.
