A thesis away from a 3rd postsecondary degree, traveled 30 countries, reffed 4 NCAA D1 championships, 7 elections, hundreds of legal hearings … nothing is more difficult than a little girl’s hair tie. I do not understand the astrophysics of putting them in or taking them out.

Friday is Independence Day, and I’m grateful to live in Easley, in South Carolina, in the United States of America. It doesn’t seem politically correct to say that lately. People on both sides of the political spectrum claim we’re in an existential crisis of the Republic. Funny
