Happy Independence Day
Two hundred and twenty-seven years ago, our
founding fathers declared their independence from
the King of England. Since then, our country has
been a beacon of freedom for people around the
world. As we celebrate the anniversary of this
great moment in history this week, be sure to
remember that millions (billions?) of people around
the world don't enjoy the freedom that the
signatories of that declaration gave us. Perhaps
one day the term "free world" will be
redundant.
"The Daily Strick" is on hiatus until July 6,
when the coming days' columns will be posted after
the fact. Appropriately, I'll be visiting
Independence, California, and other towns along
Highway 395 on a camping excursion to the Sierra
Nevada.

What is "The Daily Strick"?
I have long called
myself a writer, but too often I don't do
what a writer must do daily: write. So
you, dear reader, are the beneficiary of
my resolution to make a positive change in
at least one area of my life. Every single
day of this new year (almost), I will
write something, anything, and post it
here. It is my intention to use this daily
exercise to jump-start my too-long-dormant
creative energies, and perhaps generate
some worthwhile material this year.
Hopefully you will find at least an
occasional amusement or insight in my
daily musings.
