I think your cell single is weak where you are now.  Call me asap. I have to run out now to take my son to the hospital.

I do!  I just read a quote by Michele Obama and I couldn't agree more. She brings into questions Hillary Clinton's husband and former President Bill Clinton.  Michelle says: "'One of the most important things that we need to know about the next President of the United States is, is he somebody that shares our values?

It's a rainy August day today.  It's been raining days now.   Rain can either be something that makes you feel sad, or you can rejoice in what it brings later.  For me, I'll just laugh as I stomp and splash in the gutter. 

Nothing can replace the feeling and closeness of a family member in a time of crisis.  The only thing that comes close is winning the lottery.
