A joyous but poignant musical interlude on the Fourth of July.

I have been thinking of this song increasingly these days. From the incredible "Bookends" album from Simon and Garfunkel.

Happy Independence Day to all DUers.

Never, never, never give up looking for America.

Wishing you all the best.

Old Friends, which is how I feel about every one of my DU friends.

Preserve your memories. They're all that's left you.

Thank you all.
