At our house Independence Day came, and went, as we celebrated things such as freedom, the First & a 1/2 Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and The Midnight Prowl of Those With Claws.

I'm not going to be on disability, or even unemployment, forever.
As one friend wrote me: There is another world waiting for you, full of
love, trust, hope, truth, and dreams come true."
I just have to do my best to bring it about, including finding the time to get out, and about, exercising my long dormant, and atrophied, social muscles.
