Dancing with national pride

By -Kehla West and Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, July 11,2004 9:17 p.m.

I'm a terrible American. I didn't light any firecrackers, I didn't wear red, white or blue, and I didn't muse on my citizenship until late in the evening. I did, however, go to the bars. Yes, it was a Sunday, but I went to church that morning, so it balanced. Praying, shoe-shopping and drinking constitute the Spanish triathlon.

Are you having a 2.4 day?

By Alyson Brodsy and Emily Cooper · Sunday, July 11,2004 9:14 p.m.

I don't know how the subject of bad days came up in conversation, because I was having anything but a bad day. Perched on a wooden bench on a bluff overlooking the glistening rolls of Lake Erie, I sat with a delightful gentleman enjoying the same seat and view. Among other professions, he told me he is a teacher at a prison in a town south of Cleveland, Ohio. He told me a story that occurred on a test day in one of his classes.

By Jeff Fuldauer · Sunday, July 11,2004 9:06 p.m.

Who else out there is not excited about watching the All-Star game? "This time it counts" is the slogan MLB is running for the 2004 showcase.
