Oh, What a Beautiful Morning

The view from my front porch on an early winter morning:

Prelude to Impressions

I am working on a post about my impressions from yesterday's inauguration. One of those impressions is that Mr. Obama is the first president that is younger than I am, making me feel kind of old. So for all you young whippersnappers out there I want to post this here video of one of the pioneers of standup comedy, Shelley Berman.

Enjoy.

Mr. President

God bless you, Mr. President.

You just can't make this stuff up...

Moms, don't let your sons grow up to be IDIOTS!!!

...or marry crazy ladies...

...or be stupid criminals.

Lotsa stupidity around.

Idiots

What were these parents thinking? What total idiots. They were obviously trying to make some stupid 'statement' without regard for their son. Before giving their child this stupid name they should have thought of how he will be treated growing up. This is an adorable child. He will have a hard time growing up until he changes his name (which he probably will).

These parents should be horsewhipped.

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday, my sweet little boy. I can't believe you are 6 years old today. I so well remember your birth day. I thank God every day for you. I will love you forever and ever, my son.

Friends

Watching this video makes me wish I had more close friends. I do know I'm gonna buy her book.
