So, here I was, minding my own business (something I really need to do more often), thinking that tonight I really needed to get to bed at some sort of a decent hour-- afterall I am adding another full year to the number (way too high already by the way) that I've walked on this clump of rock we call earth, and sleep becomes more and more a need for the old man staring back at me in the mornings when I shave--when I find these messages from you all.

I have nothing but compliments, and gratitude, for the endless source of inspiration, support, knowledge, and passion for Freedom that each and everyone of you brings to this family that is FR.

May we all live to see that shining city on a hill, may the light of Lady Liberty shine on the generations of our generations, and the idea that is America stand firm, under God, and indivisible, for ever more.
