Boston Tea Party
After a wonderful phone call with my friend Emily, I am even more excited about our upcoming trip to Boston for the 4th of July. Because, really, Boston is one of those cities most integral to the actual events we celebrate on the 4th of July (even though we officially announced Independence on the 2nd, and Britain did not officially learn of it until much later).Of course, I would not have done well back then because I'm such an Anglophile and truly enjoy a good cup o' tea every morning (and afternoon, and evening . . . is there ever a bad time for tea?). Nonetheless, I like to think I would have supported the proper side had I lived in that day. And for the proper reasons, too.
As much as I enjoy the comic treatment of our Founding Fathers in the musical 1776 (I know, I know, they didn't really sing, did they?), something that's always irked me about it was the song "Molasses to Rum to Slaves" sung by the Edward Rutledge character (delegate from the great state of South Carolina). If you know me, you'll know why I particularly don't like that song. But I digress. . . .
What's your favorite tea? Mine's Earl Grey, followed by any natural orange-flavored black tea. Here's to those who prefer tea to coffee, and independence to tyranny.
How's that for a random post?
