I ended it with a question mark simply because 2009 is currently being projected to suck far worse than 2008.  2009 as is 2012 are prominent disaster dates in those “alternate news”/prophecy tin foil hatter sites.

The “predicted” noo-cue-lar exchange before Christmas 2008  and it’s resulting trigger of martial law didn’t happen did it.  May I credit the meditating monks and the people everywhere whose collective consciousness contributes in manifesting a better tomorrow.

He turns 9 months old in a couple of days.  As you can see, he is a pretty happy kid.  He has a laugh that can make anyone smile – no matter how crappy a day we have had.  Sure, when he wants something or is tired or doesn’t want to eat or play anymore or he tries to stand up or crawl but can’t, he gets upset.  And as a parent, I can tell you that the overwhelming love that I (and the missus) have for him can’t be put into words.  There isn’t anything that we wouldn’t do in our power for him, and even though we know that most of the time when he cries, it is temporary and nothing major- it still makes us sad when he is sad.  

He is a lucky boy and I am a lucky dad.  He doesn’t have to worry about bombs going off in our neighborhood on a daily basis.  He doesn’t get woken up in the middle of the night by incoming fire or by having our house stormed – not by an occupying force that is in a no-win situation, not by religious rivals with a grudge, not by the police who have an axe to grind or were tipped off that a “terrorist” lives here.  He (and we) live in relative comfort, safety and security.
