I hope my fellow Americans had a lovely and safe Independence Day. We spent the evening at home enjoying Disneyland’s fireworks from our front yard, but not before going to Knott’s Berry Farm’s Independence Hall as per my tradition for the last couple of years.

Mini Golf. It’s a kitsch-tastic thing that I think everyone loves. I mean, really, if you hate mini golf, then there’s something wrong with you. Even if you’re no good at it, like me, it’s still fun to hit a ball at weird concrete sculptures. Which is exactly what Patrick and I did with some…

Overall April has been quite hectic and extremely busy, and to add to it, my birthday fell on Easter this year. So there wasn’t really the opportunity to celebrate proper, however, a few of my fellow heathens and orphans and I decided to get gussied up and head to Disneyland. I call us “heathens and…
