Free At Last!

Independence Day has come and gone. Regardless of how "less than perfect" this country may be, it still is the land of the free. At least for the moment, and hopefully for a long time to come. 
And for me? All is mostly well. Albert is catching up on some mostly spiteful semi-truths and propaganda by watching Fox "News" on tv (he really likes to start his day with some bear-like anger), Eddie is napping on my shoulder, and I am drinking a cup of Tazo Focus tea as I type this. Unfortunately, before I head for the Library to play talk-show host for my Friday conversation group, I must try to balance my checkbook as I eat breakfast. So maybe more later, depending on whatever surprises life throws at me as the day progresses. 
Remember, folks, the world could end at any moment on any day. Make sure you make every minute count. 
I'm sure I don't know what that means...Hasta Luego (Until Later)...
