Waiting, A birthday and The election



Three Beautiful Things

1. Today is our son's birthday. Its a cliche but its true - seems just yesterday that he was born at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, MD. Jimmy was born about 7 am so at this time I was sleeping off the delivery in the hospital and Jim was sleeping off his "waiting" back at our apartment.

2. The waiting is almost over so far as electing a new President in the United States is concerned. This has been the endless Campaign. Its taken a LONG time to get to this day. I am looking forward to tomorrow. Jim and I plan to be at the polls when they open in the hopes that will be a shorter wait-time in the line. Tomorrow is our grand-daughter's first time to vote in a national election - a memorable beginning - she will never forget being part of such an historic election.

3. Right this minute I am waiting for Jim. Stories can shorten a wait - - so can a computer - and internet access. Ah, here he comes now.!
