Happy Independence Day!

OK, so I'm a wee bit behind on the posts. On top of the usual work marathon, I took on an extra book from a new, prestigious client. I didn't want to turn down the opportunity because I might not have gotten another call, not until I could prove my work, which I did. Woo hoo! So now I'm catching up on the blogging, and rather than doing one long super post, I'll inundate you with several shorter ones, beginning with our Fourth of July fun at the Brokaws. This was the last day off I had until today.
