Two years ago you came along,
our tiny newborn son.
As time unfurled you lit our world
and charmed 'most everyone.
And now you giggle, laugh, and run,
our babe a little boy.
We thank you for the love you've brought
with great parental joy!
And so, a happy birthday word
for our boy Nicholas:
we love you much and pray the Lord
will grant you peace and grace!
Standing at the ATM I heard the following conversation.
First man: "You can't buy anything anymore that isn't made in China."
Second man: "Yeah, but Obama's going to fix that."
First man: "How's he gonna fix that?"
Second man: "First he's going to save the auto industry and move jobs back to the U.S. Good jobs, high-paying jobs."
I left, shaking my head. Hopeful? Not so much. It's the auto industry. I don't see how robbing successful industries to prop up unsuccessful industries is going to fix things. But, hey, what do I know?
