Well, here we are, kids. I can still call you "kids", right? Then again should I even have to ask that question? Really, I mean, if I changed your diapers when you were babies, then aren't I deserving? Now that I think of it, lets be fair, you're adults and presumably married in the future,...

Don’t Cry For Me
I am a dead man. Eventually, that is. If you’re very familiar with my blog, you’ll know that the book of Ecclesiastes is my favorite in the Bible.
