It's been 65 days, and I finally succumbed to the 4-year-old's relentless requests that I let him play with my Star Trek Playmobile set that I got for Christmas. I hope I get to see Mr. Spock again.

There are some self-proclaimed Christians pushing voucher scams. Vouchers take money from public schools and give it to wealthy parents who already send their kids to private school. I can’t think of anything more un-Christian than stealing from the poor to give to the rich.
