When my mother passed away I brought her turntable and records over to my house. I gave my boys a record and told them to get music out of it and sat back and watched. Took them about 15 minutes to figure it out. Should have video taped it. It was hilarious.

Kenya Declares National Holiday After Obama Victory, AFP Says

Nov. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Kenya declared a national holiday after Barack Obama's election as the first black U.S. president, to commemorate the fact his father was born in the African country, Agence France-Presse reported.

``This is a momentous day not only in the history of the United States of America, but also for us in Kenya,'' President Mwai Kibaki said in a statement, according to AFP. ``The victory of Senator Obama is our own victory because of his roots here in Kenya. As a country, we are full of pride for his success.''

Obama's father, Barack Obama Sr., was born in Kenya and left the president-elect's mother two years after his son was born. Obama met him once after that and his father died in a car accident in 1982. Obama's first book was titled ``Dreams From My Father.''
