yes, I do know

Yes, I do know that Sarah Palin's son has Down Syndrome.  I have taken no less than 5 phone calls and 10 emails to let me know that someone else has a baby with Down Syndrome  - a now-famous somebody - and actually about one out of 800 folk have a chromosonally enhanced bugger running around their house.  But yes, it does thrill me the idea that the White House could have a little guy like Andrew running around it.  That alone would make the world a kinder, gentler place.  It is impossible to be in a bad mood for long around him.  And, for the record,  I do appreciate the info - I can, at times, have my head under a rock when it comes to news and events, so don't ever hesitate to tell me something I need to know.  My sister (in Indiana) calls to give me(in Florida) hurricane updates (a) because she is a weather geek (her term, not mine) and (b) she knows I am working and chasing kids and I don't watch the weather very often.  So, if she thinks we are going to get blown away, she gives me a call.

Anything else I need to know?

Ha, love this reaction. Only someone who is living with the blessing everyone else seems to think is a curse would be annoyed and I do not blame ya :)
God bless Andrew!
