Hope.

Welcome to office, Mr. President. We elected you with hope. Please do your best to live up to our hopes, to clean up what needs it and to leave well enough alone when that is needed. You can't do this without us - from Congress on down - also trying and I hope we remember that. I hope you do also; you will need to work for consensus and compromise.

I have a little baby, not yet two weeks old, on my lap. He's a bundle of innocent potential and what he's thinking I don't know yet. I know it's my responsibility to nurture him and help him learn to deal with and find a place in the world tho. There are a lot of little ones not unlike him in our country. Please do your best by them, as far as your contributions to shaping the world they'll grow up in.

Oh, joy.

And my desktop has picked NOW to decide not to recognize its built-in card reader, the only one in the house that can read the SDHD card I use in the good camera. So now some of our pictures of Drew are being held hostage. Argh. No desire to open desktop case and fight it. Easier to just buy a USB card reader and have done. Or find the cable for the camera but I'd rather use a card reader. (I do have a card reader for the laptop but it can't handle SDHD, only SD; it's just too old.)

Dying. Of. Laughter.

Scott just now after carrying in shopping: "You know, ten pounds of cat food seems a lot lighter than it used to."
