Independence Day

Ours began as it usually does each year on this day, with coffee and music from "1776." This year, thanks to a transcription set in Imperial typeface and printed on the back page of The New York Times, I read the entire Declaration of Independence. It's quite fantastic, and easy to read when one is not trying to decipher 18th-century handwriting.

Have a happy day!
