So the drive to and from my house was much like my walk to the library with Jacob. I told you about it - he spotted a bumper sticker that said "Bush makes billionaires out of millionaires" and asked if it was positive or negative. When I explained it he stated "But why don't they try to make the poor people richer, and the rich people poorer?" This became a twenty minute discussion of modes of government. (Warning - you have a budding communist on your hands.)

What I realized as I read this, was that Jacob is lucky to have you as a parent.

Really. If I would have asked my parents about aerodynamics as a child, they would not have been able to tell me in the detail I would have liked. The same goes for economics. And many other things.

You know a bit about a lot of things, and a lot about a good bit of things. Jacob is lucky to have you as a father.
