I just found out that Milton Friedman's great-grandson Tovar Miles Friedman was born pre-maturely last year, but is now doing well. His story brought me from pity to joy in minutes. Now that you know that things work out, you should be able to skip straight to joy. I've never met his parents, but their story still makes my day.

Josh - your lack of appreciation for my hawtness is quite saddening.

Robert - Heck, I knew me when I was in Kindergarten, and now I'm a dad! I didn't think I was that old.
