No More Moore
I caught part of the Michael Moore interview with Bill O'Reilly yesterday on the television and heard part of it on the radio (Sirius, of course) and have come the conclusion that I can not handle any more Moore. I'm amazed that people still call his work documentary. I have not, and likely will not, see Fahrenheit 9/11 simply because I've heard of too many inaccuracies and "photo-shopping" that are preset in the movie.
One the things Moore does not get is that there are people in this world who are not self-centered. He asked O'Reilly if he would send his children to Iraq. Bill answered with a yes and Moore couldn't believe it. I find it funny that Moore can call for greater involvement and want to effect change in the world environment but he is not willing to sacrifice his life or the lives of others. Thank God there are those who are willing to make those sacrifices. They allow people like Moore, as irritating as he may be, continue to talk.

Growing Up and Moving Out
Today my daughter moved into her dorm room, excuse me, room at the residence hall. It's not as if this is her first time to be away from home but this does seem different. The good news if that she is still only a very short distance away and we will get to see her regularly.
I'm getting a little taste of what my parents went through when I moved off to college. Of course I moved 450 miles (not 450 yards) away from home and did not see them from the time they moved me in August until Thanksgiving. This is also interesting because our daughter moved out on our wedding anniversary.
Yes, it is sad but it is also rewarding. This is a sign that we've done of job as parents and the world will soon be gaining another responsible citizen. And the world had better watch out because this one is going to take it by storm!
