“May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.”


"This report is maybe 12-years-old. Parliament buried it, and it stayed buried till River dug it up. This is what they feared she knew. And they were right to fear because there's a whole universe of folk who are gonna know it, too. They're gonna see it. Somebody has to speak for these people. You all got on this boat for different reasons, but you all come to the same place. So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything I know this, they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, 10, they'll swing back to the belief that they can make people . . . better. And I do not hold to that. So no more running. I aim to misbehave." ~ Captain Malcom Reynolds

Retention

One of the joys and challenges of life with my son is his incredible retention - he will remember things he saw or heard just one time, and spout them out months later... Obviously this has led to my having to increase my self-awareness of what I say around him as this goes on!

But every now & then he comes up with something that is incredibly precious instead of funny...

Today we were sitting at a restaurant for lunch together while having some daddy/son time. And out of the blue he looks at me and says "God didn't make us to eat money, He made us to eat food." And then calmly went back to eating as if his message had been delivered.

I'm presuming he picked that up at church, but you never know...

From the mouths of babes after all.

Or maybe it has something to do with having a brilliant father?!
