Dad,

It is unfortunate for John McCain that he will not win a republican primary. His party will not put him on the ballot because he does not cater to their ideology. He should give it up and run as an independent on a ticket with Joe Lieberman. Now that would be something to see. I am, like you, not inclined to vote for them, but I would certainly appreciate the dynamic that they would bring to the race. Heck, I might vote for them after all.

My daughter was agonizing about school again today. Luckily, her teacher is really good at his job and put her in charge of making sure that she watched the caterpillar in the cocoon so that, if a butterfly should appear, she could alert everyone. Crisis averted. I am thankful for those who make the life of my family easier and more enriched.
