Independence Day

Tomorrow’s the Fourth of July. In most of the world that’s just another date. In the US it’s our national birthday.

(If you, and everyone you know and love, haven’t read the story, you can click here to correct that problem immediately.) It’s clearly been the best ten years of my […]
