Prayers for the little one, and I hope you're feeling better, too, IG.

Now for the news:

WE HEAR . . . THAT Chip Carter, son of Jimmy Carter, was overheard at the big Democratic National Committee fund-raiser the other night saying, "George Bush is giving sons of former presidents a bad name." (Page Six)

.......

THE Rev. Al Sharpton was smiling broadly the other night as he stood on the stage at the National Building Museum in D.C., his arms upraised and his hands clasping those of Jimmy Carter and Howard Dean. Farther down the line were Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Al Gore and John Edwards. "It's unprecedented for me, an activist, to be standing there with two presidents and four presidential candidates," Sharpton told PAGE SIX the day after the event, which raised $11 million for the Democratic Party. "I've come a long way from when I was ostracized. When the people who want to marginalize me saw that picture, I guess they were a little disappointed." [Apparently, Al doesn't know the meaning of the word 'token'] (PageSix)

Good Morning. No news from my son yet this morning,, which I hope means this ornery little grandson on mine is behaving himself and has settled down to do somemore growing before he enters the world.

Our youngest son entered the world 6 wks early weighing 5 lbs. Today, at age 25, he is 6'4" and as strong as an ox. But the better start they get, healthwise, the better off they are.

You kill me.
