I read this today. It is almost New Years and this is as good a resolution as you can find.

"To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is thing called Facebook and I find that a lot of the stuff I used to write to you I just put on Facebook. That bothers me a little bit. I find I write to you less and what I do write is the sad stuff not the happy updates about Mom, Jack and Joe.

Here is a quote I put on my Facebook page where they give you space to put your favorite quote.
"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read."
Groucho Marx

We had the annual Hope for Henry Superhero Celebration last night. It was a huge success. There were a lot of people and we raised a lot of money.

I saw something, though, that made me crazy sad. It was really fast. No-one else probably saw it and if they did it probably didn't register. Simon hugged Ari. That was it. It was so nice, so sweet and made me so sad. Jake was there too. All three of your buddies are still buddies.

The bad week has started. But it didn't start all bad. I had to register your brother for soccer. And I was psyched to do so. Wanna know why? 'Cause you're still in the system.
