Happy 4th!

This weekend marks America's 234th birthday. I scanned the haphazard array of books in my study for an appropriate read. I settled on Jimmy Carter's We Can Have Peace in the Holy Land, a selection plucked from my small collection of signed books.





The book reminds me of our country's tradition of good deeds. As a nine year old refugee, I was a direct beneficiary of our benevolence. We Americans have a national tradition of doing good in the world. On this, our 234th birthday, I know that we have not lost our grace.

Happy Birthday, America! May G_d bless you.

    You're welcome, Weronika. I enjoyed the writing tool that you shared with your readers in your latest blog post, the calculation of tension per page in draft WIPs. Very cool (and useful)!
