Very subdued, to be exact. I opted out to not attend my annual Sci-Fi convention due to my husband's recent death and spend some of that with my family near by. I am still in the throes of filling out forms to make sure the monies he was getting, come to me other than Social Security Survivor's benefits.

The questions are, HOW WILL THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY of America's Independence play out in 2026?
Will it be like June 14th with little pomp and circumstance for the big bucks it took to put that fiasco on?

I am more concerned about July 4th, 2026 than in a few weeks.
