Happy Birthday America




Got a new puppy yesterday. A 12 week old Golden Lab/Hound mix and named him Duke. Didn't want a dog, but the look on my wife Terri and daughter Jamie's face when they met him told me I made the right decision. Love is a good thing.


Tiger Woods ATT National here in Philly is giving Aronomink CC some well deserved kudos. I played 36 there last year, and it is a primo golf course.


Mortgage rates are at record lows...that's because no one can qualify for one.


Watched the first couple episodes of the repeat of the HBO mini-series John Adams last night. It is a breathtaking recreation of our country's birth. Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney as John and Abigail Adams put on performances that are worthy of an Oscar...even though its for television.


I read a quote from George Washington this morning....."Religion and morality are indispensable supports of our political prosperity". The separation of church and state DID NOT MEAN the separation of God and government. The founding fathers logic was:


  • To be free, you'll need a republic

  • To have a republic, you'll need a Constitution

  • To have a Constitution, you'll need morality

  • To have morality, you'll need religion

Enjoy the 4th of July holiday....and please remember why we celebrate it.


SALUTE!!
