We've been blessed with a pretty beautiful day here. My wife, daughter and I took the dogs for a nice long hike at a park with a trail system earlier. I meant to add this earlier, and forgot. The meaning of the Pledge of AllegianceOn 14 January 1969, comedian Red Skelton offered his television audience his reminiscence of an incident from his schoolboy days in Indiana. Mr. Lasswell, Skelton's teacher, felt his students had come to regard the Pledge of Allegiance as a daily drudgery to be recited by rote; they had lost any sense of the meaning of the words they were speaking. As Skelton related the story, Mr. Lasswell told his class: "I've been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge of Allegiance all semester and it seems as though it's becoming monotonous to you. If I may, may I recite it and try to explain to you the meaning of each word?" Pledge of Allegiance

I've been trying to lose weight ( a lot of dry popcorn, salads with no dressing, iced tea with no sugar, all that good stuff) and The Bride surprised me with a hot air popcorn popper, very large bowl, and big 'ol salad tongs for a 4th of July present... I feel bad because I didn't get her anything...which means I'll have to crank it up big time for our anniversary the 31st...dang.
