MY SON, THE CONSERVATIONIST

Truth is the most valuable thing we have, so I try to conserve it. ~Mark Twain




Morning pal.

Hi mom.

Clean chonies?

Ummmm... uh... well, yeah.

Wow. I'm gonna let you know that I am unconvinced by your response.

Sheepish shrug.

Wanna try again?

OK.

Hi pal. Clean chonies?

Nope.

OK. Get on that, will ya?

Yeah...

BETTER THAN A STICK IN THE EYE

1. Hope. For my family, my neighbors, my country.

2. Leftover chocolate birthday cake.

3. Cello and violin music that brings me to tears.

4. My new bright green trench.

5. Inauguration speech on the web because I had to work all day today.


So many wonderful things. Let me not forget them so quickly next time.
