De Diligendo Deo ~

It is not hard to side up with God when we get old and infirm.

So Early ~

A classmate of my son died today. He was 41.

General Petraeus ~

I liked one of his lines about fighting in asymetrical combat: "a soldier has to be comfortable in chaos".

Time Passing ~

Spotted the red tinge at the top of the maple tree--first saddening signs of autumn.

Happy Birthday ~

We uncorked a bottle of champagne and lifted our glasses and wished President Obama a Happy 50th Birthday.
