Just Like Mom

Milk and Cookies. They served milk and warm chocolate chip cookies.

Yesterday I got upgraded to first class on a flight to the west coast. I had plenty of room for my legs and the service was great.

For desert they brought me a warm chocolate chip cookie and milk.

One of my foundest childhood memories is the smell of chocolate chip "Tollhouse" cookies fresh from the oven. Mom would pour us a glass of milk to chase them down.

Mom died a year ago today. We miss you Mom.

Matters of the Heart

My grandson Riley is scheduled for heart surgery on March 9. He was born with only one pump or ventricle. I am so grateful that modern medicine has the capability they do today. Dr. Karl and the staff at USCF have given us a bright little boy who brings great joy to his grandfather.

Riley’s Dad tells you more in his blog.

Bono Preaches to Bush

The entre of a socially engaged rock star is absolutely amazing.

Yesterday (February 2, 2006) Bono spoke at the national prayer breakfast.

You can read a transcript of his speech here (registration is required).

Does Bush Have a Tin Ear?

Are you listening to yourself Mr. President?

Does he have any idea how his arrogance sounds to those he has sworn to govern? Or was he posturing for the very rich and his fellow oilmen?

Why would you allow yourself to be quoted defending $36.13 billion in windfall profits for ExxonMobil this past year? Without his hubris, wouldn’t you think the smart thing would be to keep your mouth shut?

So, he is out of the closet, he has admitted that he is the President of the very rich; the working stiff and the poor be damned.
