Thanksgiving

Tomorrow, I will sit at a table with three other adults and one toddler and we will have enough food for a small army. At the same time, people in Zimbabwe are scrounging individual kernels of corn to keep themselves alive. By pure chance, I was lucky enough to be born into incredible wealth and comfort, and I am beyond grateful for that. It's the very least I can do to try and share some of my good fortune.

If you are as lucky as I am, please consider giving thanks by donating to Action Against Hunger (Charity Navigator).

As Obama likes to remind us, we are our brother's keeper.

Thanks a lot, Grandma

Saul's head almost exploded with joy when he saw this lawn mower at Terra Toys. Grandma Softie paid for it and it's been driving me crazy ever since.

Hope, I gots it

Here is what Saul was doing while B and I and about 63 million other people helped to ensure that his future will be a bright one.

Now that this election is over, I truly hope that we can stop arguing about petty things and start working on the big problems. I was impressed with McCain's concession speech and I hope that he will start acting like himself again now that the Republican machine is going to let him go. I think he and Obama together could do wonderful things for this country.

I actually cried last night during Obama's speech. Not for myself, but for Saul. I HOPE this world will start CHANGING into a better place for him.

Saul this morning

Saul has become quite fascinated by Sir Chutney of Yorkshire Pudding lately. He is now fondled every time we leave or enter the house.

2nd Halloween

Saul was only a month old on his first Halloween, so we didn't do anything at all. He's still not old enough for trick or treating, but he is definitely old enough to dress up, go to some parties, catch swooning Tinkerbells, and chow down on some vegan cookies!
