My sister and I were at my mom's house for some reason, nobody else was home and neither of us lived there. We had teevee on and "A Long Day's Journey Into night" movie with Jason Robards and Kathrine Hepburn came on so we watch it together. 3hour movie.

Didn't really care about the fireworks or anything. Somehow, that was one of my more memorable July 4th celebrations.
