The first thing you do is trust in God and swallow your despair.

Then you look around at what you can do besides whining.

Me, I worked with the grandkids on the Greek alphabet today.

That's right, American kids learning the Greek alphabet, just like the good old days of the Founding.

It takes getting off one's fundament, and doing some actual work. I had to make flash cards and everything.

That's the kind of stuff you can do.

And turn off the damn TV. It's not helping your negativity. Or teaching the grandkids anything you want them to learn.

Did that with my kid......no grandkids yet. Not watching TV. Just working too hard and treading water. Praying for an easier life when Obama exits the WH. Have already bought Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims to get a clearer sense of history to read to future grandkids.
