  It has been a good 4th of July! Yesterday I got together with several old friends and thieir families. We arrived early and left late. At the end of it all when I told my son that it was time to go his words were, "but we just got here".
I guess that means that it was a good day. I am a little concerned that I may end up going back to work on Tuesday more tired than I was on Friday. All the food and fun aside, let's not forget the soldiers that are right now fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq so that we can remain free. We owe them (and the many, many others that have gone before them) a debt of gratitude.
