Where else? My hometown of Pittsburgh. Like Davy Crockett he took a stomping too. (So has Pittsburgh but I digress.) You study Mr. Ellis if you take a course towards a master's in guidance and counseling. I didn't get very far in it. But I can remember a quote from Mr. Ellis similar to your Davy Crockett quote. I'm quoting from memory now and so it is not precise. But I have the gist of it. Here goes: "People feel cheated if happiness eludes them. But where is it written that our days will be untroubled and free from pain? The purpose of life is not to be happy. It's to count, to matter, to stand for something, to have it make some difference that you have lived at all." And a happy Fourth to you, too.
