I bought a copy of "The Tianenmen Papers" tonight -- for my older son. He told me that if I bought it, he would read it. The boys are spending the night at their grandmother's. I think they both will read it. This morning the younger son was up when I got up, and watching CNN's coverage of the hostage crisis. Yesterday he checked out from the library a book about the history of the ICBM. They are not learning this in school. I do not try to bend them to follow my lead, all I do is make sources available and give my own opinion but make it clear that it is just my opinion and I am not always right. I am so happy that their minds are thirsty for the truth.

Last night I was shopping in Lechter's and saw a potato masher I wanted. Made by Oxo, a wonderfully innovative company that makes kitchen utensils with thick black rubber handles that are great for people with arthritis. But the label said "Made in China" and I didn't buy it. There were about 20 different types of utensils, about half made in China, half made in Taiwan. I'm going to send an email to Oxo and tell them that if the label says "Made in China," I won't buy it. They should do business with another country. Maybe Mexico or India. They are nice people - let's write them a polite email and ask them nicely to please find another country to make their very nice utensils. oxo.com I bought a copy of "The Tianenmen Papers", but Ben (15 year old) wanted to read it so I haven't started it yet. Looks very interesting. We had our usual Friday night dinner at our favorite Chinese restaurant, we've been going there every Friday night for years. I like Chinese people, my feelings are not personal towards Chinese people.
