This morning The Boy pointed at the little laptop I keep on the dining table and hummed a tune. It was the Kills.

That he could hum a recognizable tune surprised Mari and me a little bit, but he's done similar things with some of his day care songs. I quickly brought up the video for "Black Balloon", and he smiled warmly.

I like my buddies from west Texas. I liked them when I was young, I liked them when I was middle-age, I liked them before I was president, and I like them during president, and I like them after president.

—George W. Bush
