The Sin of Pride
In the middle ages, Pride was not just one of the seven 'deadly' sins, it was the sin from which all others derived. Now we celebrate the concept and are constantly revealing that we have pride in one another. Who am I to argue with progress?
I am proud of all my children and their individual talents and achievements but I'll just mention one here--my eldest daughter graduated magna cum laude and a member of phi beta kappa. I didn't get those. Well done, sweetie.

This Day in Extended Family History
One of my cooler relatives, my uncle Jim, (my mother's older brother) who is really named Glenn after his father and is a rather short but athletic retired doctor (OB-GYN), was born on May 19, 1917. So he's 90 and, as I wrote about him in third grade 45 years ago, still alive today. Happy Birthday, Jim. Thanks for the rifle.
