No gaming related material today (and no gaming, sadly, although I may set up my new Wii), just a quick note in celebration of Independence Day. Sad to say, very few holidays actually get me into the spirit of the day, but July 4th certainly does. I was reading essays on James Madison last night just after midnight, and I’m looking forward to a picnic and festivities later in the day. There won’t be any drinking at the picnic, just hopefully some great discussion about our country’s past. I find that July 4th is the one day of the year I’m truly able to forget whatever woes I may see in modern American culture and politics and just focus on what has and does make this country great.
