Good Morning and welcome to the last week of the aughts!

Well, it certainly has been an intersting decade. Fear at the start (Y2K), fear in the middle (terrorism, war), fear at the end (economy, health care). Sure there have been far greater good things than bad, but we, for whatever reason, like to focus on the bad.
Maybe it makes us feel better about any other situation, but, for the last week of the decade, let's all just focus on the good.
Remember the great things that happened in our lives. I have more than a few and that's what I am going to remember this week.
When it comes down to it, the 2000s have treated most of us pretty well. Let's remember the good things, there will be plenty of time for the other stuff next week.

Good Morning and welcome to the day after!

It certainly appears children are growing older quicker these days. Thanks to the pressures of school and the world in general a, say, 10-year old can't always act like a 10-year old.
That is, a 10-year old is still just a child, whether he wants to believe it or not. Sure, there are changes they go through. The world is starting to look a little different. There seems to be a place in the world for the 10-year old that wasn't there when he was 5, 6 or even 9-years old.
Just imagine the changes, though.
Let's say a bright-eyed boy was born 10 years ago. He came into a simpler world with a smile on his face. His family waited and waited and waited (well, waited some more) before finally announcing his arrival. As an aside, how Mom was able to endure those 36 hours is still a miracle.
Still, he came into a world without the Internet, without DVDs, without iPods.
Now, he's growing up. It's fun to see the young man he's becoming, but it's also sad to see the young boy he's leaving behind.
He's still fun to be around (well, those times when he doesn't have teenager attitude). Hey, he'll even still give a hug once in a while.
