Happy Fourth of July
POP! Zing! Wow! Color, Noise and Music. Fourth of July is here!. Is this what you remember when you think about our Nation’s Independence Day? What were our founding fathers thinking about when they sat down to create a lasting event that would ultimately change the course of history? Well I can tell you one thing. They weren’t thinking about Life or Health Insurance. Unless of course they happened to be thinking that when King George sent in the troops to put down the Colonial Rebellion there might be a need to have some protection from musketballs and ship cannons.
Rather than write a blog about how important Life Insurance is (of course we know it is!) I want to do something a bit different. Let’s explore the Fourth of July. I, for one, began to dislike the holiday when I hit college. It wasn’t that I became less patriotic, in fact I was probably more patriotic at that time of my life. The problem was with the type of celebration we were always forced to experience. I loved the parades, and the flags. I enjoyed the speeches from the mayor and the other political candidates. What I didn’t enjoy was the fireworks!
Believe it or not I enjoy a good fireworks display on television. I liked how they synchronize the music and the explosions. During one year I even went to a fireworks display that I could experience live outdoors. It might have been Disney who ran the display, I don’t remember. But take away the music and all you have is snap, crackle and BOOM! It hurts my ears, it makes my teeth chatter and my facial skin gets tight. I think I’ll take a hint from my yellow lab and duck under the bed, or read a good book with noise cancelling earphones. My wife still likes the fireworks. She has even taken our grandchildren to see them at a local school. As for me, well I’m still going to stick my fingers in my ears.
Happy 4th!
