No celebrating in my little dojo this year. I usually watch the film musical, "1776" but not in 2025.

For me it's an annual viewing. But this year especially, it's going to be very bittersweet.

Because our former housemate would cover my admission. We have moved now, and I am no longer among the 'annointed'. Hubby works that day as well, so I will be sitting here with nothing to do, no one to do it with, and no way to afford to do anything anyway.
Weeeeeeee.....
