Gazebo posted an essay (or a reasonably long excerpt thereof) by Frederick Douglas on his blog, and much of what is written therein remains extremely apt today.
How am I celebrating? Simple: I am in the office dealing with page proof corrections and meeting with students. I'd be dealing with infinite-dimensional Hill determinants too, but that is so yesterday.
I think it would be a shame if I didn't use this post as an opportunity to piss somebody off, so here's my assertion for the day: Independence Day is so September 10th.
Granted, my choice of what to do today has nothing whatsoever to do with my political opinions and really is just my usual OCD when it comes to my work.
Please enjoy yourself.
Happy Independence Day Mason! -jing
