There’s always something to howl about.

Overnight News: Celebrate your independence – because it has no contrary.

Ya think it's easy?

“Careless children can’t eat the food they drop at Independence Day cook-outs. Guess who can?”

It’s almost Independence Day – our wedding anniversary – and this is definitely the year to celebrate the independence of the fee simple domicile.

I’ll get to that on Sunday. For now let’s address something more-fundamental:

You should celebrate, embrace, enfold and exalt your independence – because there is no alternative to it.

All organisms persist in their defiance of entropy from the inside out. Each and every one of them – including you – is exclusively internally motivated, unmoved by any external causes beyond physics itself. Yes: It was you who didn’t do the dishes. Who knew?

If you resent your essential, inescapable autonomy, I don’t know what to do for you: There is no alternative to reality. But if you do as I advise and truly honor your independence – that is when you will discover America.
