My plans for the 4th
I shall relax and bask in the sun. I'll walk up to the top of the canyon and sit on Elk Rock overlooking the fields and mountains in the distance. And I'll know that as far as I can see the land is under no despot's heel.
I will raise the flag and salute. Maybe I'll watch a ball game on TV and have my first beer in 6 months.
I'll honor 56 of the bravest men who ever lived and re-read some of their writings and quotes.
I'll raise a glass to all those who have kept us free over the years and those who continue to stand on guard and sacrifice for us.
Then I'll go to the parade in Dove Creek on Monday and watch a bunch of happy Americans celebrate the best dang holiday ever!
Life is good when you're a free man.
