Here it is again the 4th of July and we always get excited around the Home. Some around here get excited because it means they start decorating for Christmas. For the sane ones at the Home, it means the Nationwide PGA Golf Tournament is on its way. We are ready.

As I recall, one of the main players and major contributor to the King James Big Book of Life wrote..."You will know the truth and the truth will set you free". The Aunt Martha's interpretation of this verse is... "The truth will KEEP you free"

My Doctor along with my spiritual leader Father JP told me that the best thing for a poor memory is to always tell the truth.

You know the feeling... standing in the rain, watching flood water lap up against the foundation of the house...and there's nothing you can do! Or, maybe it's watching the water in the toilet bowl back up and you have no shut-off valve. You know what I'm talking about? Raw, powerful, raging feelings of ANXIETY… impending doom.

It was 5:00 am in the morning and I was on my way to the hospital... Again! I was scheduled for my 20th knee surgery, a total joint replacement.
