Just what is rattling around in my brain. Might be boring, might not be. Mainly about my family and home life, with some commentary about culture and other issues.

Let freedom ring
Yesterday was a great day. Independence Day always is great. I thought about all the troops over the past 250+ years who have given their lives for all of us. And, I thank them all. From the Battle of Concord to the present war, I sincerely say, "Thank you".
THIS is the best verse in "America, the Beautiful", and sums up Independence Day perfectly.
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self the country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!
