Hello! First – Happy Independence Day to everyone! Four comments for the fourth!
- First a great big thank you to all the service men and women who have worked tirelessly to keep us safe – and independent. Thank you for your service.
- Second, if you have older boys – who often do really stupid things with fireworks – check out this post, you’ll appreciate it. For some reason, teenage boys seem to love to danger and dare associated with firework foolishness. Funny as it may seem to them in theory, fact is that according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Fireworks are often a part of special times like the 4th of July and New Year’s Eve. But fireworks can be dangerous. In 2008, an estimated 7,000 people—an average of more than 19 people every day—were treated in emergency departments for injuries sustained from fireworks¹, and more than half of those injured were children. Whenever you celebrate, learn how to protect yourself and those you care about from fireworks–related injuries.”
- Third, I ran 6.5 miles yesterday on my quest to complete my first-ever full marathon - I’ve registered for the Marine Corps Marathon on October 31st in DC. I will keep you posted on my training progress (hopefully – I’m a little worried).
- Fourth, I’ve been talking with lots of parents about starting Raising Boys World groups in your community. If you want to start one – email me and let’s set something up in your area!
