I hope that you had a good Fourth of July. We had a good day. We spent some time with Lisa's new step brothers and their families. It has been great to connect with good folks with whom you immediately feel very natural and at ease.

But the best part of the day was the evening -- spending some time outside with Lisa and Evan, watching the myriad of fireworks that get shot off around the perimeter of Grand Lake each holiday and having our own little sparklers and pop-its. It was a simple time but also a very special and memorable time. Sort of helped me to remember the freedom that Independence Day is really about.
