Guess what I haven’t done in a while? Post something!
How is everyone doing? Me, I’m doing great. You see, Leah spent her first night in her crib in her own room almost 3 months to the day after she was born. Why 3 months? It took us that long to

SEN. AL FRANKEN (D-MN): Make no mistake, the Older Americans Act saves money. It allows seniors to stay in their homes, who wouldn’t otherwise be able to stay in their homes.
SEN RAND PAUL (R-KY): It’s curious that only in Washington DC can you spend two billion dollars and claim that you’re saving money. Here’s a thought. Perhaps the two billion dollars we spend on...

New Car!
Well, after much trial and tribulation, not to mention months of research and discussion, Valerie and I bought our first new car on Friday. My faithful 1992 Honda Accord (with 229,500+ miles) was traded in and we walked out of Honda Mall of Georgia with a new 2011 Honda Odyssey EX.
