Travis is Still Hurting

Our injured Travis had a better night last night, though he’s still not moving his left leg much at all. And he’s still crying out whenever it gets moved for him. Kelly’s got another call in for the pediatrician to see what next steps might be taken.

I want our happy boy back!

Bonhomme Richard

I just got through reading Walter Issacson’s biography of Benjamin Franklin. What can I say? I knew the story of how “Dr. Franklin” was a printer, helped tame electricity, invented bifocals, was a world-class diplomat among other things. What I didn’t realize is just how pivotal he was in inventing the United States of America Why if it wasn’t for Poor Richard, we’d all be speaking English!

Franklin had a curiosity which served him well. He was not a masterful writer, but wrote to his favorite audience: the common man.
