You have had hundreds of great posts, but the subsidy post is, to me, the most classic of all. Thanks again for joining our merry little band of patriots - we love you, whoever you are, JL

See if you still feel that way after this....

Matt's dad picked him up from school to take him to a dental appointment. Knowing the parts for the school play were supposed to be posted today, he asked his son if he got a part.

Matt enthusiastically announced that he'd gotten a part. "I play a man who's been married for twenty years."

"That's great, son. Keep up the good work and before you know it they'll be giving you a speaking part."

Thank you for those generous words. They are humbling, I assure you.
