cal..thanks for the posting....all too often, i see the next generation running around this tiny town, driving their fancy cars that mommy and daddy bought and whining about their part-time, minimum wage jobs and making statements like "i deserve better"....yep, kiddo, ya do...so, get out there and earn it like the rest of us have had to...heard a kid the other day complaining about having to work 12 hours a week while going to college because mom and dad could not afford the full tuition at his fancy, private college...i know this young man's mom quite well and have watched her work 5, 6 or even 7 straight days of 12 hour shifts at the hospital to pay for his education while he parties it away!! how sad! then there are the hard working kids out there who bring a smile to your face...the kids who are learning to take care of themselves, pay their own way and value what they have!! to those kids, i tip my hat!! the world is not an easy place, but it can be a beautiful place if we all try!! tomorrow is high school graduation in ennis and i pray for all those getting ready to head out into the "real world"....may god be with you always!!
