Happy belated birthday, USA
Happy 5th of July
In most of the polls taken to gauge the mood of the country, there's a common message: the US is going in the wrong direction. I concur, but my conviction is that it's because we're taking an increasingly mean-spirited and inexplicably selfish swing to the right, rather than a jaunt to the left. In fact, the recent tilt so concerns me that I wonder, more often than I'd like, if I really belong here anymore. That said, today, a perfect one in terms of weather, we went to the lake to celebrate this country's—our country's—birthday. The flag, snapping in a stiff wind, still inspires a feeling of hope, rather than hopelessness or, worse, fear, even terror. I'll work to keep that feeling alive. I guess I'll stay.
