Dear, Chilipal,

It’s odd but true — we don’t always appreciate what is closest to us. And, it happens to all of us (we often just take things for granted). In my 41 years as a Jersey Boy, I’ve seen the Statue of Liberty from the Jersey Turnpike or from NYC, but never up close and personal. Well, ever since My Whaler and I became Great Pals, all that’s changed. I have had the privilege to take Friends and Family to see the Statue of Liberty (all the way up to the security perimeter!) 4 times in the last 3 weeks. Obviously, you can’t see Lady Liberty too often, not only for her beauty, but for what she represents. Freedom, Opportunity, and Dreams. You can dream any dream! It gives a wacky dude like me the opportunity and blessing to spread my passion of Fire around the Globe!!!

With much respect and Spice, I say Feel Alive !!!!!!!!
