On an Independence Day

I woke up to the Declaration of Independence being read on NPR.  I am a cynical progressive lesbian feminist, but let me tell you, nothing gives me more confidence in the future of this country than sitting in a room with a bunch of smart young people, listening to them read, analyze, and discuss the founding documents of this country.  I wish it happened more often

Our Independence Day: frantic preparations to travel, Waylon, Dunkin' Donuts.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Always.
