IMG_4787.jpegFor those in the States, Happy 4th of July. We will be having family over for hot dogs and hamburgers along with swimming in the neighbour's pool. Not much on the modeling front to share at this time. Hope everyone has a great day.

Morning, all.

At least it's a short work day, only 'til noon.  No festivities planned here for the Fourth.

Happy 4th of July to everyone in the USA!  Good morning, to those outside of the states!

Not much on the agenda today.  Hot dogs and mac and cheese for dinner this evening.  We're not going anywhere to watch fireworks.  Probably won't have to.  I'm sure neighbors will be setting them off all around us.

Have a great one!

"A republic, ma'am, if you can keep it". My favorite community theater role, even as a minor character. (Joseph Hewes of North Carolina). Off to a family picnic today. With all those crazy Italians present, there's an opportunity for early fireworks.

If we're going to quote the classics, I give you Dr. Lyman Hall:

...I remembered something I'd once read-"that a representative owes the People not only his industry, but his judgement, and he betrays them if he sacrifices it to their opinion." It was written by Edmund Burke, a member of the British Parliament.

In my younger days I played both this part, and Rutledge.

Happy Fourth!

July the 4th, the day to get sun scorched, headaches, stomachs that have felt better and loud bangs at night that are not gun shots.

Enjoy!

I quoted that in my Letter to the Editor on Monday's Supreme Court decision....  But I attributed it to Ben Franklin.  

The goal of hanging the backdrop was not met, I ran out of double-sided heavy sticky tape.  So I ordered some more, and worked on the photo flats and scenery for the area in front of the backdrop/flats.  Not as much progress as I hoped, but still progress...
