This is a great video reminding us that it’s not just about the end result.  It’s about the journey.

This summer has been a mixed bag of events, road trips and family gatherings.  I have stories, pictures, video and a few Renaissance souvenirs I want to tell you about.  I’m going to start posting my summer adventures from the most recent down to the most overdue. 

How was your summer adventures?

Thanks to @Susan_Green on twitter, I found this video on the Huffington Post blog about a man who brought a gun to a town hall meeting in NH with a sign that read "It’s time to water the tree of liberty". 

I’m all for debating and having a difference of opinion, but why would you think a gun is going to make your point clearer?  If you’ve done the research and reached your own conclusion, go with that.   Argue your point and raise all the hell you want, but do it without the threat of violence or blood shed.

Today President Barack Obama turns 48.

From one Leo to another, Happy Birthday To Ya! (the Stevie Wonder version of course)
