Quick Notes....

I often wonder if John Adams woke up on July 3 and thought to himself over his first cup of coffee, "I've made a horrible mistake."

My favorite quote from those far-thinking fellows of 1776:

"Come now, gentlemen; we must hang together, or we will surely hang separately."

And one more thing to remember as the revelry winds up:

He who goes forth with a fifth on the fourth, may not go forth on the fifth.
