Franklin, that is. Happy 316th birthday Ben. Among the Founding Fathers only Washington is more beloved.

Alas, there will be none. I tried to convince Mrs. Gambit to agree to the posting of a single photo, but she is very guarded about our privacy. We post no photos of any kind on line. Neither of us uses Facebook, Twitter, etc. This all goes back to a potentially serious incident a number of years ago involving a close family member that evolved from social media. Fortunately no real harm resulted but Mrs. Gambit has been extremely cautious ever since. She didn't actually say "no" , she left the decision up to me, but after 50 years of marriage I have no desire to cause her any anxiety. Let me just affirm that all I have said about our trees through the years is absolutely true. This year's tree, standing over 10 feet tall, is our best ever. Sadly, it will only be seen by our family and friends.

So then, Benedict Arnold was the first one in the "Patriot League" to enter the portal to look for a starting role and asked that we "respect his decision"??
