Last night our daughter and son in law presented us with a beautiful and wonderful little baby boy. No name has been decided on yet. So I have a couple of baby quotes for the occasion: ETA: Name is Felix Jude.
A new baby is like the beginning of all things - wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.
Eda LeShan
Adam and Eve had many advantages, but the principal one was that they escaped teething.
Mark Twain
If you were to open up a baby's head - and I am not for a moment suggesting that you should - you would find nothing but an enormous drool gland.

Looks like we're busy this weekend. Car show and tax free shopping in New Hampshire among other things. So I'm posting a few thoughts for the weekend.
It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
George S. Patton
How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!
Maya Angelou
Let no vandalism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten, as a people, the cost of a free and undivided republic.
John A. Logan
Remember WHY we have this holiday.

Whenever I feel a bit "lost" in life I turn to America's premier philosopher for guidance or posing of a question that needs answering.

It's been a very long day. We were up at 0215 (NOT a typo) to get the Chicago Plane at 0500. Got here about 1200. We saw the new grandchild.
