Happy 4th of July!

I'ts 6:17 AM, I'm leaving for a local 10K race in about 8 minutes, but had to say a couple of words on this special day (at least for us Americans).

I do love my country, warts and all, it's a pretty good place to be.  I have the freedom to speak, blog, rant, rave, go to church or play on-line.  So far, they can't arrest me for any of that.

I have wonderful friends, a good family, one crazy brother, and on-line friends, lovers, enemies, and readers that I wouldn't trade for the world.

So Happy Independence Day!!!
