This Day in History: July 4

We all know what happened on this date. Most of us who frequent sites like this even know why it was significant.

Barring unforeseen events, I'm only making one post today besides this one, and I think you'll agree it's an important one for us to keep in mind--especially today.

Unlike Mr. Olofson, I will be with my family today--including two sets of cousins coming in from opposite coasts. I'm hosting a big family gathering today and need to get busy. Posting will also be relatively slow for the remainder of the weekend--I'll still be around, but most people will be occupied with the benefits of three days off work.

Go and enjoy--remember that the men who put their lives on the line to sign the Declaration considered "the pursuit of Happiness" right up there with Life and Liberty. Taking time to enjoy the fruits of your labors with those you love certainly qualifies, and I hope you have as much to pursue this weekend as I do.
