Early Spring in Independence

It's still cold outside but it smells like spring. The sun is shining and it's very breezy. Most of the snow and ice from last week has disappeared. Yes, there are some remnants but for the most part it's gone. Hopefully we will get no more!

Just put Aiden down for a nap. This child does not like to sleep. He fights tooth and nail to stay awake.

I've been reading the WAPO stories on Walter Reed Medical Center and Army's woeful treatment of discharged or outpatient Iraq war vets. Like so much else that has come about from this disastrous excursion in "regime change," the treatment of the injured is just shameful. Fortunately the story is getting out there and making news so maybe some positive and deserving change will come about as a result.

Colin closes on his two family today. He built and installed a bed yesterday. I can't wait to get a look at the place since he's moved in. Plan on taking him out to dinner tonight to celebrate if him and Melanie are interested.
