The Morning AfterHappy 3rd of July!  Or as a lot of  the business world is treating it, 4th of July observed.  I am enjoying a fine brewed cup of Starbucks coffee (Italian Roast) as I type this post here this morning.  I am looking forward to a day out with the family with zero concerns other than when I will sneak my run into the day.  It is nice to have those high class problems every once in awhile.

It will be an extremely light day around these parts, just like it would be for a Saturday or a Sunday.  We will be back to normal on Monday, as we continue to drag ourselves through the rest of July until football camps start up and Ocho Cinco and others give us something to talk about.  Of course, college football practice will have begun, and the trash talk from the writers will soon follow.
