A Leader for the 21st Century
FYI, conservative-leaning Economist magazine has endorsed Kerry for President.

But really, this entry is about my son. According to his day care teachers, Micah is quite a budding leader. His primary words of choice right now are ball and dog (pronouced "baaach" and "daaach"). He also loves to go around, point at any and every object and ask, "Daaaa?" Apparently, this expression has caught on with all the other kids, even those who are close to 3 years old and, prior to their association with Micah, had been quite verbally competent (in other words, he is leading them into regression - sound familiar? Ha ha). What does this tell me? 1) I am happy that my son is a leader and 2) I am disappointed that his peers are not currently helping him expand his vocabulary! Sometimes I feel as though hearing one more "Daaaaaaaa?" will cause me to spontaneously combust on the spot. Other times, I am wholly consumed by the love and pride I feel in this one little human being. It's astounding.
