Happy Independence


I'm usually not a super-patriotic type, partly because my first husband was a Desert Storm vet, and his extreme flag-waving, cliché-spouting patriotism--exhibited from the recliner while smoking weed in his underwear, natch*--kind of turned me off to the whole thing.

That's not to say that I don't love my country. I do. Fervently.

And most of all, I love my freedom. Freedom to live as I please, say what I please, and worship as I please (or don't please, depending on the week).

Happy Independence Day. May you spend today enjoying your favorite freedoms.





*I do realize that most soldiers are not lazy potheads. And I thank goodness for that.
