 It's been all big brush so far. Time to start the detail and break out the tiny brushes. I didn't watch the president's speech. I talked for quite a while with my kids about life and stuff. Great conversation. Toward the end of it, my son Aaron is thankful that we talk, and in depth, about things. Wide-ranging, free exchange of thoughts and opinions. My kids are my favorite people. It's cool to hear their foundation become sturdy under them as they grow and get a grip on how life works. But regarding the president's speech, I expected it would be great. The consensus seems to be that it was. And of course it was - the vision behind it is solid and right. That makes the speech easier. He's the right man at the right time. |
