Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach him to use the Net and he won’t bother you for weeks.
A journey of a thousand sites begins with a single click.
Don’t byte off more than you can view.

I hope to see you here.

Like the attack on Pearl Harbor, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, forced a reluctant nation to acknowledge a war that had been raging for years. It began with the Iranian revolution in 1979, when militant Islamists kidnapped American embassy workers in Tehran. There would be repeated attacks throughout the 1980s and 1990s, building up to the atrocities of September 11th. In response to that attack on our homeland, America once again sent her armies abroad, not seeking an empire, but to defeat an enemy and liberate oppressed people.
Speaking today at a press conference with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, President Bush remarked: “Sixty-five years ago this day, America was jolted out of our isolationism and plunged into a global war that Britain had been fighting for two years. In that war, our nation[s] stood firm. And there were difficult moments during that war, yet the leaders of our two nations never lost faith in the capacity to prevail. We will stand firm again in this first war of the 21st century. We will defeat the extremists and the radicals. We will help a young democracy prevail in Iraq. And, in so doing, we will secure freedom and peace for millions, including our own citizens.â€

It’s the same to you, and it would help us out. Thanks.
Amy left this morning for 6th grade camp for one week.
I think it was harder for me when Elliot went when hw as in 6th grade. It was the first time I had to let my child go a whole week without me.
I now know the drill of letting go, but it is still not easy.
Learning Binary is as easy as 1, 10, 11.
That is in response to Elliot’s post (I didn’t understand his post of course.)
I was thinking over my past as I was washing dishes.
What do people usually regret about their past?
They usually do not say, “I am glad I was mean to people. I wished I had treated people worst. I wish I didn’t have so many friends and people who care about me!”
People usually regret the opposite, right? “I should have treated so-and-so better. I wish I had taken more time to get to know people.”, etc.
Yet while we have the opportunity, we do not usually take the chance to do that nice thing that we might one day regret not doing. We selfishly live for ourselves.
So let me be reminded: Carpe Diem. Seize the moment to be kind, to do the right thing, to put aside selfishness. I won’t regret it.
Can you see what is faintly under Amy’s name?
It says “Elliot”.
She is wearing the P.E. sweatshirt he wore in 6th grade.
Waste not, want not. We love hand-me-downs. Some of my best clothes are “gently worn” clothes from my friends and sisters. 🙂
Something positive from Hollywood. I generally don’t like movies, but I would like to support this one: The Nativity.
