If you blog long enough, eventually you get the treat (?) of reviewing what you did on certain dates every year. This is my review of posts on or around the Fourth of July.
I uploaded my second Star Trek fanvid on July 4, 2008. This was before youTUbe went HD, so this low-res vid has since been downsized to a third of the screen. (I still like it, but it's pretty obscure.)

Four Years Ago, on July 3, 2011, I wrote,
"Hi, there! I'm back...from walking across Spain. Here, dancing down the road the night before we walked into Santiago. v Photo by bink."
Three Years Ago, on July 4, 2012, I tried to pull a nursing home resident into a lift-sling using my thumb and pulled my wrist tendon so badly I had to quit my job and wear a splint for several months. v
I didn't blog much this year; these photos, above, are from a post on Aug. 14, after I'd started to draw about "What Can You Handle?"

Kirk/Spock: "The Definition of Love" (by Andrew Marvell)
From my youTube description:
"Unmet longing + stars + navigation.The 17th cent. British metaphysical poets wrote about this stuff long before 1960's Star Trek.

"Unmet longing + stars + navigation.The 17th cent. British metaphysical poets wrote about this stuff long before 1960's Star Trek.
I mashed-up this poem "The Definition of Love" by Andrew Marvell (1621-1678), music from "The Four Seasons" by Antonio Vivaldi (born the year Marvell died), and Kirk (William Shatner) / Spock (Leonard Nimoy).So I guess that makes this metaphysical Baroque Star Trek slash..."

One Year Ago, in July 2014, the doc said I should get a "bit more exercise and lose 5-10 pounds."
(Working on that...)
Happy Fourth of July!
